The Bible says one thing and has pics of a closed car. On my touring. I had to remove dash and screws and one and two screws from the stantions and four bolts from steering column. Discovered and confirmed that the dust. from dash to firewall is different. Open cars are shorter than closed cars.

Re: Steaming Radiator

Also run a thin coat hanger down the overflow pipe. These get plugged also when someone in the past put "Pellatized" stop leal in the Radiator
Like mentioned above check spark timing and have spark lever half way down when driving . Also check fuel mixture .
