When I left Gene I was only a mile from Lila's place. That's when I noticed the coolant spewing all over my carpet. I started by soaking it all up after releasing the pressure in the radiator. I then bypassed the heater core by pulling the hose off the heat choke valve (my Weber choke uses hot water like the base-plate originally did from Ford) and looped it back to the water pump fitting. Then I pushed plain water through the heater core so any more dripping, if any, would be water. I drove the final 30 miles home without issue. Another day-in-the-life...
