<p>Rodding a radiator is not a good idea. It usually does not do the
trick. If the radiator needs attention have it rebuild with a new
high capacity core and flush the engine before fitting it.</p>

<div dir="auto">Good point. Radiator was rodded out a few tear
ago.been a long time since I flushed the engine. Been thinking
about an aluminum radiator but will flush the engine first. I
really dont think it's a head gasket, but I ordered a gas
checking chemical just to rule it out.

<p>As the problem arrose rather suddenly, I would not realy
think of a head gasket, also as there is no oil in water
or v.v. Also the car is running smoothly which does not
indicate poor adjustment of carbs and/or ignition (my
first thoughts) or blown head gasket. Waterpump or
thermostat (sorry) would be the biggest suspects.</p>
<p>You say that the engine was rebuilt 40 years ago. Was the
coolant replaced and the engine/radiator flushed
periodically, say every 2-3 years? Could it be that the
engine has silted up and suddenly some sediment particles
come loose blocking some passage or radiator? <br>

<p>Hate to say it, but an overheating issue that
happens suddenly like that could be a blown head
gasket. There are test kits for exhaust gasses in
the coolant, and you could start with a
compression test.</p>
<p>These guys are pretty good:</p>

<div>In june it was running hot on our trip to

On trip it started running up to 212 and then

<div>The car has continued to behave this way
all summer. I replaced the newish radiator cap

degrees ambient temp.</div>
<div>Drove for 30 miles and stopped to check.
Temp went past 220 and water began to flow out
the overflow tube and some squirted out of the
hose fitting and water pooled around the

<div>So why would start doing this after running
cool and fine for a year or so? I'm going to
see if I can borrow a pump to check the
radiator neck for poor cap fitting. I don't
