Hello all,

My 66 122 wagon has started spitting water out of the radiator overflow tube every time I start it. It continues to spit out water untill I lose enough for the car to start overheating. I've done some tests and the water pump is definatly pushing water into the radiator through the lower hose. The manual says it should be exiting from the bottom and not involving the radiator at all when the thermostat is closed. The thermostat is new as is the radiator cap(7lbs) . I'm thinking I need to take the head off, clean all the coolant pasages in the head and the block, and put on a new water pump. Anyone seen this before or have any advice?

Thanks,
Robert
