It could be you are filling the rad too high. Model A's will find thier own level by venting excess out the tube. The missing baffle may well contribute to the coolant loss out the tube bit it should settle down. My cars all seem to operate about a 1/4" of water over the tubes. It could be your timimg is a bit retarded as well, this would cause the engine to run a little hotter especially at higher sustained speeds.
Keep trying, you will make her happy.
