Default My recent purchase

HI,

I recently purchased FPF 678B. 1964 408. Vin number : 408 7043.

It is not in a good state. It has suffered from a bit of neglect and needs some TLC.
I have begun to re-commission it, but it will take some time. I want to get it
on the road shortly and use it through the summer as a 'running resto'.
Next winter I hope to get it re-sprayed

I need some advice. Can someone tell me what the pressure the radiator cap should be please ? It isn't fitted with an overflow bottle, and it blew out 2
core plugs.? I found the wrong thermostat was fitted. It seems to build up pressure but doesn't release out of the rad cap ?

I don't have a manual.

Many thanks.
