Motor getting Hot

I have a '39 Six that runs very good but has started pushing the water out of the Radiator at road speeds. At a fast idle there are no bubbles in the water flow but when reeved up to 2-3000 the water immediately blows out. If I have the cap on it just blows around the cap. I had the radiator Rodded out and have pulled the freeze plugs and power washed the block internally, the motor temp runs about 180 until it get's low on coolant. I pulled the head and put on a new head gasket and it all seems to have been sealing. I'm at a loss
Thanks

I am rebuilding my rear end on my 1939 Six and I am wondering why it has drain holes in the axle retaining flanges, the new gasket set I ordered from M M do not line up at all with these drain back holes. These seem to just drain the axle bearing area so why are they needed?

My car is also a '39 Six with the original motor (I believe) no overdrive, I've cruised it for over an hour at 45 - 50 and back in Highschool 50+ yrs. ago, took it to 60 a couple of times but wouldn't do that these days. I think 50mph is a safe number for a long distance.

Most clock repair shops have the curved glass in stock, they come in many sizes and are very nice. I used one on my 39 Six.

Grain-It Technologies has complete kits that can make you dash look as new and they have all the info on the correct patterns for your exact car. It is a lot of work but you can do this yourself, sending it off and having it done is usually $1200 - $1500.00

Just be sure and find a real good machine shop that will be accurate on the crank turning, so get your brgs and have the rods redone so the crank clearances can be set correctly. . Also figure on having new exhaust seats installed.

On my 1939 model, I had to take it to a shop and use the Hydraulic press to get the old one out.

I restored my wheels, 1939 Packard Six, but before, they did have original pinstriping, including the spare. It was a very time consuming project but the end results were very good.
