Engine is spitting anti freeze through catch tank

[michel schryer]

I'm pretty sure my gauge reads Celcius wich is weird, I will check it again but I could be wrong or it was a mislabeled, the car is on the lift covered for the winter but I'll check again. For the thermostat story, I read an article that said that a thermostat is not necessary if you have no use for it. If the water is flowing more it won't stay in the block stagnant and accumulating heat since it's always flowing, that's why they have high flow water pumps.
One guy did a test without and with and he found that with the water flowing constantly the engine never overheated. I will try it and see what happens. Thermostat are good to control the temperature, we'll see. I will also install a bigger expansion tank so if the fluid wants to spit out it will return back to the rad keeping it full, my catch tank is venting to the atmosphere right now, no return, just a waste of fluid, decreased volume in my rad. I'm learning here I think, trial by errors, thanks bud for your inputs !

I had a 74 bronco with a 302 in it and autometer gauges. I pegged the temp gauge one time in a mud bog at 350 f.....it was not pretty.

I like a 13-16lb cap for a street motor. If your over pressurizing the system and spewing water the cap is likely not your problem. Find out if your gauges are indeed celcius or farenheit.

Keep the thermostat, add the coolant recovery tank.

Then test.
