i've got a 1960 ford ranchero and ive just put a new radiator on it, filled it up with 50/50 mix antifreeze and water, whenever i start it up and run it for a few nikutes, finally when it gets good and warmed up antifreze starts blowin out like the the hole into the block is clogged or something.....could it possibly be the thermostat or something more serious? please help....

 

Where is the antifreeze blowing out of? These systems are going to run under pressure and it could be something as simple as a hose clamp that is shot, a hole in a coolant hose etc. Any minor problem can cause that to happen with antifreeze.

 

thanks for the info man, but today i pulled the thermostat housing and tested the thermostat with a torch and it wasnt opening and closing at the right temp......apriciate the advice.....

 

With a torch? How can you test it with a torch?
I've always boiled mine in a pot of water

 

well boredom and rednecks dont mix...lol....i was at my shop so dint have any water....torch works just gotta watch it so it dont over heat and ruin it...

p.s.- love the quote man....wish my girl was 2...lol
