64 Coupe Overheating
Put in a new radiator, water pump, hoses, etc. Have a problem with overheating. Thinking I might have an air pocket in the system. What is the best way to see if this is the problem and eliminate it.

Is the cooling system, to the best of your knowledge, as original?
Also, what engine, and what options powered off of fan belts?

Open the over flow tank (when cold) and the system will “burp” as the car warms up.
However, you might have other issues (timing, water pump, etc.) but I’d start with checking the coolant level and burping the system.
Do you have an IR thermometer to check the temp sensor, etc?
Good luck
