Thanks for all of your inputs as they are great areas that can lead to over heating. The car has been a "Trailer Queen" with very few miles on it since it was restored.

I had never been aware that the 120's in that era had a history of over heating, which was my main concern.

To add another possible cause to the basket is the wrong head gasket or installed backward.

I plan on running the car an using an infrared thermometer to examine the radiator for hot spots. Will probably pull the head to flush it and ensure that the gasket was correct (P.S. will use a new gasket.

Again Thanks to All
