Thanks Al, J.M, Ken CT, Brian, Tom, Brendan, Mike. Car ran in 90 degree weather and did not boil. Temp gauge went to top as usual, do not used thermo gun yet, but will. Left electric fan on for a while after I shut off the engine, and the car did restart 15 minutes later. Will investigate...

Thanks to all who responded, and thanks to Al as always. Thanks for the updade on Bill and Florene. I need to come pay them a visit-and you. We just got back from Wisconsin visiting a relative "before its to late", so that kind of shot the vacation buget-but it was worth it. Can you guys tell...

Just being here makes it look good from any side. Thanks, and I may try that. The guy from the museum also said that these radiators eventually just stop cooling effectively, and recommended doing the water and oil thing. I will have to add antifreeze back into the mix in the fall, like you do...

Thanks so much. I think my lawyer has one (he is also my automotive AC expert and my friend since 6th grade-long story I won't bore you with). I will try it and let you know. Chuck

Hey-thanks for the information. Can you tell me more about the Skip Haney set up? Thanks, Chuck

Hey Al-your favorite fan here (pun intended). You had both vacuum AND electric fuel systems working at the same time. How do you do this? Thanks, Chuck

Thanks guys. Radiator removed, power flushed, boiled, and repaired. Entire cooling system power flushed 2 years ago. Car does not boil over. Runs hot, temp guage goes over the top. Engine then vapor locks. Did not do this until heating issue started. Only does it in very hot weather...

Hi guys. My 36 convertible is back together with its electric fan, and the grill and front and splash aprons are all where they are supposed to be. Thanks for all the help. Appreciated. Car ran over four hours in 95 plus weather fourth of July. Still heats up a little. Does anyone have a six...

Maybe check fuel delivery. I had trouble with a new fuel pump on a 36. I was not able to find the problem with a vacume/pressure guage. I ultimately waited for the engine to die, and then hooked up a special can I made. It was a metal brake fluid can with a hook welded to one side, and a...

Ok, Thanks for all the help. I will let you know more later after I get all the parts. Thanks again.

Thanks for the response. I was just going out the door to work on the car. I ordered the radiator shield from Dennis Capenter. It does NOT come with hardware (I asked). Sacrameto Ford did not have the shield nor the radiator splash pan shell apron; even though they listed both online. They...

Thanks guys for all your help. Mike was right. This morning, I learned that the radiator shield, 68-16554 is missing from the car. Obviously, that could have a lot to do with the heating problem. The car does have the 8240 spash pan with the hole in it for the crank to pass through. That was...

Thanks so much for your reply. When White Post put the grill on, they seemingly used regular nuts and bolts with standard threads. However, in the early 1950's my father had an additional 36 Ford 2 door standard slantback, and four 35s: a sedan delivery ice cream truck eatin alive by salt...

I have a 1936 Ford Convertible trunkback sedan. It is the black one pictured in front of the Smithfield, VA Post Office with Al Casteen on his website. Al is one of the the most wonderful people you could ever have the honor of knowing. Anyone who is fortunate enough to own a 36 cponvertible...
