The Ford Barn

I have a leak either in the water pump or the radiator. With the car running with one side of the hood open, I get spatter on the windshield and the firewall. I tried replacing the rope seal in the water pump. That did not do anything to stop the leak. I can't see any place in the radiator that is leaking. I have new radiator hoses that I still have to install.
Here's the question.
Has anyone ever used Bars Leaks or a similar radiator stop leak product in a Model A?
I've used it in modern cars with relative success.
Thoughts?
Thanks.
