Them old 6 cyl flathead chrysler engines had a sheet metal water distribution tube slid down one side of the block to evenly send coolant to all cylinders.
After many years they rotted out and needed to be replaced because they would over heat if not replaced.
Remembering the last flathead in cars was in '59 but they continued production for farm/industrial use another 15 years or so.
My old model 72 sp massey, was a Chrysler Flathead, you could wear them out, but not kill them.
much simpler days then.
