Murray, There can be many contributing factors. The first question that has to be asked; is the baffle in place in the top radiator tank? If you can see the top of the core, the baffle is missing and the waterpump will push the water out the top. It may be getting hot as the result of loosing water, not loosing water as a result of getting hot. I would suggest driving the car a couple miles under the same conditions and stop BEFORE it gets to hot and check the water level. Don't overfill to start with. If it's a '28-29, fill to about the point where the overflow tube passes through the baffle. This should help determine if it is a flow (cooling) problem, and which direction to go.
