Pete,

 First off, Welcome to the club. It's a great place for info. I also have a 
62 that would over heat. Only at slow speeds though. I used my garden hose 
set at  high pressure and sprayed it through the radiator from the back 
side. It cleaned 40 years worth of bugs and dirt out to let the air in. It 
help quite a bit.
