Just drove my '48 burb today with the original 216 and when I shut it off, I noticed it burped out coolant from the overfolw hose on the side of the radiator. Any suggestions or is this normal, it wasn't hot, I hadn't driven it but a few minutes. I haven't had a chance to really check it out as of yet. Anything to be concerned about? Thanks

If you put too much coolant in, it will puke it out until there is enough room for expansion. I believe the polite term for this is "finding its level".

Ok, thanks. I'll keep an eye on it and hopefully that's all it was
