Default cooling system

Never had an unpressurized cooling system before. Always had a temp gage & overflow can.

Fellow who sold car said steam out cap is usually overfilling radiator....

Radiator cap seems to be a loose fit and has an internal tube projecting above the last core piece & going to the frame level. Guessing some kind of overflow.

I've been starting and running it about 5-6 minutes daily as I work on various stuff and experienced no steam.

Can't drive until insurance obtained, so (2) 10-15 minutes test run during purchase. First had some steam at his house and second none at my subdivision.

Not sure how to proceed as really can;t tell where water level is inside the radiator.

Help is appreciated,
Dick
