I guess you've already checked the usual culprits? Retarded ignition timing, restricted exhaust, dragging brakes, slipping fan belt, poor waterpump, too much paint on the radiator fins, and the like.

As far as I can tell none of the above are players. Couldn't do the heater trick because I had two seniors in the car that were dying of heat. Someone gave us cold bottled water towards the end; to say it was appreciated.....

Both cars have wires; we got a chuckle from the enthusiastic person who told us he had never seen such realistic wheel covers.....


Did the radiator boil???? Did it puke coolant out of the radiator cap or thru the overflow hose onto the ground?????

No, no fluid loss. FWIW it has a new radiator cap.
