Very good tips- I have the same issue, cools on the road and heats up at idle...and then vapor locks. Has gotten progressively worse over the past 5 years I've owned the car. Running 180 stats and factory setup. So maybe it's the radiator slowly flowing worse, but has anyone tried the Walker WS40 shroud from Speedway, 20"x21"? They have an application 820-40 that supposedly matches the '39-40 Deluxe and '41 radiator, with a "U-cut it" hole.
