Hey, I am new here but this looks interesting so I thought I might jump in. I have a '57 that used to run very hot. It never boiled over, but it was running too hot for my comfort. One thing I have noticed is that if I am cruising at highway speeds, then slow down to city speeds, she doesn't like that.

Anyway, I upgraded to a 4 core radiator, put on a 6 blade fan, got a new water pump and added that baffle. I bought a bottle of Water-Wetter but never had to add it. The car has run great since. The needle never goes past halfway.
