You'll have to call Burgh's to find out. Ask for John, and tell him that Tom Fleming sent you over.

I also agree with Cowman to check everything out before you start buying things. How does the old girl run? Is it firing on all 4? How is it stored, outside, inside, etc.

Take a good look at the head, especially in the exhaust port areas. If it is firing on all 4 cylinders, AND it runs well, just is beching out water, and you replaced the head gasket, probably not there.

Does the water level in the rad stay constant? Does it drain down? I remember one time when I had my F-20 at a show, I forgot to put a coffee can over the 90 degree exhaust. Rained a couple of days. When I fired her up, she shot sooty water all over the next 3 tractors sitting on the exhaust side. i darn near got skinned by the owners, as they were the "perfect paint job" restorations, and I blew black exhaust water for 20 feet, giving all of them a sooty bath! LOL.

so, give us a little more detail on things, and we can go from there. BTW, welcome to the boards.
