[P.S.]

Tin- I don't have a thermostat in the car, partly because the old- "Henry didn't put it there so it isn't needed." I put a piece of cardboard over the radiator with a folded top and hole cut to clear the motometer for the first warm-up each day before driving. I let the car warm up until the motometer hits about 140 (it's calibrated and marked), then take the cardboard off and go about the day. See pic below.

Mitch- VERY good advice, thanks! Nothin but oil (whew!). That was a relief.

Carl- That's a good tip. Usually when driving the car, it's a trip to town and back and a few errands along the way. It's 5 miles each way plus whatever errands.

The major panic here was the color of the foam- Bright yellow with an almost orangeish hue. Never seen that before. It was pretty thick, but not viscosity wise. Viscously speaking, it was almost (but not quite) creamy enough to fall off with gravity. The thing is, it took some pretty nasty cleaner to clean it out of the filler tube. Simple isopropyl alcohol wouldn't touch the stuff.
