Phil,
I have the downflow on my '65. Drove it all summer, sometimes in real heavy
stop-and-go traffic AND I have a 1275, which supposedly demands more
cooling. It never boiled. As the guys at AIAP noted, I drove it thru an
entire Hotlanta summer with no problems; why would I want to mess with the
cooling system if it can pass a test like that?
