If any of you remember this past weekend I posted about the '68 Mustang getting hot and blowing the antifreeze out the overflow tube. I took the car to a local repair shop that is also an old time radiator shop. Turns out the problem was the thermostat only opening a little ways and not letting the coolant circulate enough. The guy also boiled out the radiator while he had it out and it seems like he has it fixed. I drove it about 10 miles and it ran cool and no problems.
Luckily I saved the money of the head gasket it seems. Lucky the guy was honest, cause he sure could have installed head gaskets and I would have been happy to pay him for it. That's how sure I was of the problem being head gaskets.
However, I had to call my Son, who is a Certified Master Tech mechanic, and who also told me to make sure to check the thermostat before tearing into the heads to make sure it was opening all the way, and let him know he nailed it.
Anyway, thanks a lot to those who tried to help with the replies. Bob
