I got the transplanted engine started today.  I have 3 glitches that I am
aware of.

- wire inside dist is broken.  ( spliced together for now )
- accelerator doesn't return properly
AND
- the rad leaks

I need advice on the downflow rad.  I must have applied undue pressure on
the inlet? pipe when clamping on the upper hose.  There is a leak where the
pipe meets the rad.  I really don't want to pull the rad.  A rad shop can
probably repair this without taking it out.  My big question is: How is this
repair done?  Brazing?  Soldering?  Stop-leak?( That's a joke, lads!)

I don't want to drive the car to a rad shop with the distributor as it is.
If it is soldering, I can probably do it.  ( How? )  If it is brazing, then
I am probably out of luck for another week.
