What I've heard is that you could buy a water pump for a Model T as an
aftermarket accessory, which did improve cooling. However, if the pump belt
broke, you were then stranded. Apparently the pump itself interfered with
the thermosiphon/convection effect to the extent that the engine would boil
over without the pump turning.
