Temporary fix.....

To keep temperature down a bit -

1. You can run the heater full blast.

2, You can put a jumper on the switch that runs your electric fan so it will run all the time. At least, make sure it runs in the first place.

To allow your Cooling system to run without pressure, you could drill an 1/8" hole through the top of the reservoir, you can plug it after you get another radiator. I would drill the hole close to the filler and patch it with a small bolt and a flat washer inserted from the inside and secured by a nut.

Keep in mind, a lot of engines meet their maker when they overheat!
