Still running the Evans, so far so good. I do suspect that I am getting a tiny bit of leakage, will have to check the plugs. I get the "coolant" smell lightly once in a while. I did put the taurus fan on, and that helped a lot, as when I got the car, she would get up near 250 in heavy Fla traffic in the summer (95 degrees, 95 percent humidity). With the Evans, I never worried about blowing a hose, as the motor is all cast iron.
She now gets around 80-90C, then the taurus kicks on and it drops a little, then if needed, I hit the switch and the 2nd speed comes on and the temp really drops.. One day I will switch out the brass radiator to an aluminum one to complete the cooling mods.
I do like not worrying about blowing a hose, as I have a 4lb cap on the system and it seems to be working...
