Sorry, I actually used an ankle-high stocking because it seemed to be about the right length. I installed it into the radiator inlet and then fold the opening back over the radiator nipple. The hose is then installed over the nipple (with stocking trapped between the nipple and hose) and clamped in place as usual. I found that a single 3/8" wide wrap of electrical tape (cut a piece of 3/4" wide tape in half lengthwise) over the edge of the stocking helps the hose slip over without bunching-up the stocking. Cut off the hem before taping the end of stocking in place. I use a short piece of rubber fuel hose to push the stocking into the radiator tank. In my '38, the stocking lays in the tank at the top of the core. The stocking will stretch as necessary as it catches debris, so unlike the Gano, there's a low probability of it clogging to the point where it interferes with flow. The frequency that you need to check and rinse the stocking will depend upon the amount of crud in the water jacket and miles driven. I'd suggest checking after the first 200 miles and then adjust the schedule based on observations.

That could be normal flow through the radiator. Do you have a way to pressure test the cooling system with the engine off and cold? Have you confirmed that the engine is really over temperature? 195 ~ 205 degrees F (90 ~ 96 degrees C) would be considered normal.

Your neighbor isn't going to recognize this car!

Most of the manifold is accessible even with it installed on the engine. If the car runs well and you're only concerned with cosmetic appearance, you might want to try cleaning it up in-place first. Paint can be brushed on and any area that is inaccessible is likely not visible anyway...

Wow - how'd that happen? There should be a bolt through the center holding the halves together!

Maybe @abandg has one, or has a suggestion...

I haven't discovered any downside to the stocking filter. The only thing to watch for is that there isn't any of the nylon sticking out from under the hose when clamped in place. Any exposed nylon will slowly weep coolant. Not a big problem, but it will make a mess over time if allowed to continue.

The Gano has two conical screens; one at each end. The first has a small hole in the middle, so junk is directed through the first screen and is stopped by the second one. Junk is caught in between the screens and the first one prevents stuff from just falling backward into the engine. The second screen can be removed for cleaning. Honestly, in your case, I would just install a ankle-high stocking at the input to the radiator. The stocking filter works well and catches finer material than the Gano does. I have both on my '38 and only get a couple of flakes in the Gano, while the stocking had about a tablespoon of 'rusty sand'.

After the engine cools, drain a small amount of oil from the pan and check for any sign of coolant in the oil. A leakdown test will identify a failed head gasket or other cylinder leak into the water jacket. If you know someone with an exhaust gas analyzer they can 'sniff' the coolant at the radiator cap to check for exhaust gas in the coolant.

Looks brighter (and bigger) already!

Whew!

Which I hear is becoming more difficult these days...

Is that the famous "Soupe DeVille"?

Check over in the Riviera forum - I think someone there found a chrome 'paint pen' that did a good job on the plastic outline edges on plastic, such as surrounding gauges on the dashboard. I want to say it was @RivNut who had tried it...

My '67 Riviera is not even breaking a sweat at 70. Just remember to glance at the gas gauge now and then...

Coolant coming out of the overflow tube may simply mean the radiator is over full. The level should be about 2 inches (5 cm) below the filler neck when cold to allow for expansion when hot.

I would ask to see the PHS paperwork...

Your car is a 1967 model with the 430 cubic inch engine, correct? Where is the leak - at the thermostat housing? Was the radiator flow tested?

I like it -- the colors look great!

This is precisely the new car that I lusted for in my senior year of high school...

Oh boy -- THAT sounds tasty!

How long has the wait been so far?
