The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Will driving at 55 mph for several miles cause a Model A to overheat?

Some Model A's have a problem with Antifreeze foaming inside the radiator. Foam will not cool the engine so then you have an overheating situation plus foam and coolant will blow out all over the hood and windshield. My vote goes to either foaming antifreeze or block radiator tubes.
