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?
