Re: Coolant flowing from radiator cap at speed
I had the same issue, I made mine own gasket with some large rubber washers (you have to cut and play with it until you get a good fit).

Re: Coolant flowing from radiator cap at speed
As Bill mentioned in post #16, I had same problem with the Quail cap and tried & made new gaskets but it always spit water droplets out, around the hinge when I went over 45 - 50. I bought the standard cap and it cured the leak.

Re: Coolant flowing from radiator cap at speed
To eliminate the overheating question, either install a temp gauge or shoot the radiator when warm with an infra-red thermometer, $30 at HF. Most likely lowering coolant will "fix" the problem. I call it QUAIL INCONTINENCE, caused by pumping more than the radiator will accept.

Re: Coolant flowing from radiator cap at speed
I just repaired the same problem with my Model A Ford. Look how high your overflow tube is inside of the radiator neck. If it is down several inches from the neck of the radiator add a piece of gas line hose to raise it up into the radiator neck. This corrected my sprinkling on the windshield and it keeps an extra quart of antifreeze in your system. If you are satisfied with the results you can remove the gas line and swedge a copper tubing to fit the overflow tube and epoxy it on for a permanent repair.

Re: Coolant flowing from radiator cap at speed
After flushing use distilled water & anti-rust solution. Some anti freeze foam.
