Does a VAC have a thermostat?

I have a 1946 VAC that I just bought that has been sitting a couple of years. I've got it running, but the radiator cap has a small hole in it, and the coolant--- after a cold start up with any rpms at all--- sprays out of that hole. I took the cap off cold and started it and there seems to be a LOT of circulation in the top tank, even at idle. Is there supposed to be a thermostat somewhere in the system, and if so, where?

Yes, It should be in the upper hose. I don't have my book with me but I think it's a one hundred sixty five degree unit. Only fill the system to cover the radiator core when COLD. The expansion will cause it to either blow past the cap or down the overflow pipe. Let it warm and get done blowing the excess then see if the level is ok.
