My 67 /6 225 was running a little hot the other day when my wife drove it. Did not want it to leave her on the side of the road when she drove it so I replaced water pump, t-stat, flushed system, and bypassed leaking heater core, and installed new belt. Has flex fan (no clutch) and no shroud thanks to the p.o. after doing the above work took the car for a drive five minutes on surface streets was ok. Turned it off to fill it with gas left there drove five more minutes on surface street was still ok. Got on highway drove three miles at 65 and temp went almost to hot. Got off turned around and headed home on surface streets, was right at the hot mark when I got home, used towel on my hand to feel the upper hose, and could feel the water boiling inside. Need advice on where to go from here.
 
I would get the radiator boiled out and flow tested, I dont think its flowing very well.
