: Sounds like a blown head gasket between the water jacket and one (or more)of the cylinders. "A" heads tend to crack between #2, and #3 in the area of the distributer. A leaky water pump seal can also draw in air but sounds like you've got a bigger problem than that. I'm assuming that the new radiator wasn't a 2-row cheapie like Whitney used to sell.
: If the head gasket is the problem you'll probably lose water at lower speeds when pulling uphil also.
I have replaced the head gasket checked for cracks and still get foam. I got the engine used. It ahd only had water run in it for about 1,00 miles. I went ot anti freeze and got tons of rust tha tclogged my radiator9twice0 Now I get foam. Any suggestions?
