Ok today it's been in there for 3 days and I've driven the car to warm in up. I'm going to drain it today and flush it out several times. Tomorrow we're going on a club tour and when I get home I'll flush it again. Hope it worked.

On the tour Friday the weather was hot and my Model A did boil over. I cleaned up the car and refilled the cooling system with Evaporust and think I'll leave it in for at least a month.

The evaporust will eat rust but won't unclogged a radiator clogged with old grease and sedimentation. Take it off the car and fill it with a lye solution for about 20 minutes and rinse out well (backflush with air and water). Repeat a second time for 20 minutes again. Don't leave it in to long.

A week is more than enough time for Evaporust to work. As RonC stated, I fear your radiator is clogged. If flushing doesn't work, the guaranteed solution for cleaning a radiator is rodding it out.

Not sure how good Evaporust is as an engine coolant? Works good on rust, only rust, will not attack soild metal. It turns rust to a very fine, smaller than sand

Dissolves the iron, the carbon remains and is black
