<p>As the problem arrose rather suddenly, I would not realy think of
a head gasket, also as there is no oil in water or v.v. Also the
car is running smoothly which does not indicate poor adjustment of
carbs and/or ignition (my first thoughts) or blown head gasket.
Waterpump or thermostat (sorry) would be the biggest suspects.</p>
<p>You say that the engine was rebuilt 40 years ago. Was the coolant
replaced and the engine/radiator flushed periodically, say every
2-3 years? Could it be that the engine has silted up and suddenly
some sediment particles come loose blocking some passage or
radiator? <br>

<p>Hate to say it, but an overheating issue that happens
suddenly like that could be a blown head gasket. There
are test kits for exhaust gasses in the coolant, and you
could start with a compression test.</p>
<p>These guys are pretty good:</p>

<div>In june it was running hot on our trip to Victoria

running up to 212 and then way hot after parking.</div>
<div>The car has continued to behave this way all
summer. I replaced the newish radiator cap topped up
and went for a drive tonight. 64 degrees ambient temp.</div>
<div>Drove for 30 miles and stopped to check. Temp went
past 220 and water began to flow out the overflow tube
and some squirted out of the hose fitting and water
pooled around the bottom of the filler neck.</div>
<div>So why would start doing this after running cool
and fine for a year or so? I'm going to see if I can
borrow a pump to check the radiator neck for poor cap
fitting. I don't understand what would cause it to
happen?</div>
<div>Sorry, I have to mention that the thermostat opened
at about 168 degrees and water flowed through the
