I checked the radiator and removed the plug on the side of the block. This engine is as clean as new. No corrosion in the radiator either. whoever restored this car did a real good job that is for sure. This is why I am so surprised that there is a cooling issue in the first place.


Agreed. It will have a thermostat when the test is completed. I assume the over-the-counter thermostat and the real genuine "Packard" thermostat are one and the same. Except for the $15 markup for the Packard one of course.
