My grandfather smoked 3 packs a day all his life and died of old age in his
late eighties, but as a physician I know that he was one of the lucky few.
I guess with the radiator I just played the odds. But thanks to everyone
who replied - to the distribution list and 1:1.

I'm sure it was a good decision. I had my '59 tested too, after it had sat
for 30 years in a shed in Ossinnee, NY. Tested fine. so I simply soaked it
in Simple Green for several days, reverse flushed several times until it ran
clear. Have been running the original radiator for a few years now with no
hint of an overheating problem. Then, this is NH and overheating is a rare
dream even for a young man. Note: Apparently salt had not damaged the
fins.
