Lost of coolant

Posted by Ray on September 02, 1997 at 21:38:59

I'm losing water via the overflow tube of my 28 tudor.The radiator has been cleaned and is now at a 40 gpm flow rate.Timing seems correct and there's no sign of air bubbles when I look into the upper tank reservoir, so I assume the head gasket is ok. Car can't be made to overheat while idling in the driveway or normal driving on back roads, but will throw out water out the overflow when driving at high speeds, resulting in overheating.I'm thinking of installing a coolant recovery system.Any suggestions? Is size, shape or placement of reservoir tank critial? thanks for your help.
