VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1937-1945 Overheating issue ,I am stumped!!

If you Google the subject, there are people that sell a metal filter that goes inline with the rad hose and collects all the junk. One has a plastic window so you can watch it. Then when it starts to get full you just take it off and clean it out.

I'm really thankful for all you guys chiming in on this subject. Think I'm going to take some of the advice 41 special deluxe old to 16 and chevgene have made this week. I really don't want to have to take the motor apart to fix this my friends seem to swear they think it's the radiator is the issue. I think I should definitely flush a good first.... I'm glad to hear that the water pump is probably not the likely culprit as well, if I do have to replace the radiator I will probably go with the advice of using the 41 if it has higher capacity of cooling, unless it's better to get a more modern court put in to this one.

Remember though that the loose rust in the block will plug-up a new radiator.

If you scroll up to my answer to this post you will see that Photobucket has blocked the images I posted. Likewise, it has blocked all the images of my posts since 2012. I have yet to decide what to do, but have sent them over 6 emails asking for them to contact me. I have only received robot responses.

I have only used Photobucket for hosting my pictures to our chat site (1096 pictures using .4 GB of space). This is the email I sent:

I am very disillusioned by Photobucket’s choice to no longer host third party pictures. I use pictures to better explain and understand repair questions. I am a visual learner. I have tried to initiate contact with Photobucket but so far have gotten nothing but a robot response requesting me to annually pay $400 for a one-year license. Here is what I have written:

I have used my Photobucket account for several years for only 3rd party hosting. I post pictures to the VCCA chat site. The site provides information to Chevy car hobbyists and no one benefits financially from my posted pictures. In a year, I post about 100 pictures that are used to explain repair processes used in restoration of historic vehicles. Because of the nature of many of the topics discussed the saying, "a picture is worth a thousand words" is true. Especially, for people like me who are visual learners. Please consider other solutions to 3rd party hosting besides a $400 dollar a year fee. Why not grandfather in previous posted pictures, or have a onetime fee for each posted picture. Because of the historic importance of the pictures I post, I would gladly pay $1.00 for each of my 3rd party postings.
Please let me know when you will be erasing my posted pictures from the VCCA web site.

Thanks, Mike Buller

P.S. Why did you not let me and fellow VCCA posters know several years ago that you did not want us to post photos to the VCCA website? If you would have, we could have made other arrangements. Why did you not email us with a deadline when you intended to impose this change?

Follow up email to Robot response:

Please personally respond to my questions. A generic robot response is not appreciated and belittles the professional standards which I assume Photobucket should wish to convey.

Thanks, Mike

P.S. I am interested in the options others use to post pictures.
I do not want to pay $400 for an annual subscription

I found that chevy sixes are sensitive to timing,just a little retard and get hot quick..in winter you do not notice it much but in summer they get hot quick.
