I removed the radiator last weekend as part of this disassembly-and-salvage process. It looks pretty good from the outside, so I flushed it out from each end (damn, that thing is heavy), used some plastic and black electrical tape, and sealed to lower connection. I added water to the top until is ran out.
It's been sitting for a week, the water spills I made have long evaporated, and there's no wet spot. In short, it seems to be holding water. How common is this???

If you're not having fun, maybe it's your own damned fault.

Well, they are pretty robust, and when I took my radiator to the radiator shop to get "rodded out" (it also didn't leak), they pointed out somebody had serviced it sometime in the 1970's, there was a stamp on it indicating the shop and the date.

I'm not even sure I'd have to have this one serviced, although a bit of a boil in the tank might not be a bad idea.
I have seen those tags, but not on this one. I think that this poor old car was sitting in a junkyard in Wisconsin in the 70s. Now, how does one remove the Packard script on the trunk lid without destroying it? The script. I can fix the lid.

Just noticed this. How does one pump oil into the galley? Maybe some 50/50 in there would cure what ails it.
