However, it does exhibit the same characteristics as the '39 LZ when stopped as traffic lights.
Vic, Are you running a pressure cap? You know the Zephyr has a very tall radiator neck so it makes it hard to fit a pressure cap. what I did was install one of Skips 4 lb pressure valves on the overflow tube.
