5ktq Radiator Update, and a Type 44 tip

[ed armstrong]

Coolant as water pump lubricant ??  I havn't had any
coolant in my Coupe in years and everything is fine.
There sure is alot of rusty water in there ;)

Not that I'm advocating no coolant. I'm just to cheap
to buy any for my ol' Coupe ! And it still keeps
running....
