Just a quick update:
That Box has earned the name Stella. Nice name for a car but I'm making reference to Brando and screaming Stella.Every time I find another issue, I get to do my impression....

And then head to the swear jar :-)
I'm still chasing the overheat issue. New cap, new bleeder diaphragm, $100 in antifreeze spread around on the local roads, a few trips to the swear jar and after 2 weeks of travel and no time for working on the car, it looks like we might have a leaking radiator up front on the drivers side. While I was away, I parked the car nose down in the drive, we have a slight slope and this would allow the tank to be high and help get the air out. I left the cap off the tank and while away, and while speaking to Missus Better 7/8ths, she mentions that there is water running from the car down the drive. Well, lo and behold we have a drip when the cap is off (no vacuum) when it filled up and not sealed. So the rad has a hole in it and will need replacing. THEN maybe I can move on......
