Danny,

This engine is in a 1949 truck?

What temperature thermostat do you have?

Do you have an original-style water pump (or one mounted on a relocation plate)?

I agree with Virginiafiretruck, 220 is not a comfort-inducing temperature, unless you have a high temperature thermostat.

Have you tried to flush the engine? If yes, did water drain freely out the drain-cock hole at the lower rear driver's side of the block?
