Took car out for about a 20 mile run last night and all was well, but still less than 200 miles since restoration so still sorting things out. Having read a number of threads about overheating I have been keeping an eye on temperature gauge. Was running at about half way on gauge. When I got home, stopped in driveway to open garage door. As I returned to car noticed large puddle underneath and temp gauge had maxed out (engine shut off). All hoses seem OK. Looks like coolant was forced out overflow hose onto ground. Have new 4 lb rad cap and running 50-50 antifreeze water mix. What are the most likely causes of symptoms? What things should I check in order of most likely causes? Cheers, Mike
