Ford 8N dribbling coolant out of radiator overflow, not overfilled.

Just keep it simple. These run with near zero maintenance and keep going with all sorts of neglect.

After it drains down two quarts, does it overheat or run at the correct temp?

Seems to stabilize around 200 degrees or so, with my 180* thermostat. No overheating problems so far, but I’ve never really worked it hard or anything. Ambient temps have been in the 70s here in Colorado.

will your radiator hose only go on one direction? I recall, from the 1970's that mattered. I think the thermostat went in the hose, right?

Did it do this before you replaced the thermostat and the other things you have done to it?
