Cooling Problem

[88-GT]

Hey today I had just finished up installing a new coolant overflow tank(did the taurus fan) and after I was done I took it for a drive, everything was fine and it ran great. Once I brought it home I was checking the system to see if it was full and noticed that I had barely any pressure, the top rad hose was soft.

I then started it with the rad cap off(see if the coolant was flowin at all) and when I started it it instantly through coolant right out of the radiator, like several feet in fact.

Checked my oil and no mud, car doesnt smoke and runs good. I know it looks like headgasket, but any other possibilities?

Kinda sounds like there was an air pocket in it to me. Does it still do it if you start it without the cap on, or was it a one time incident?

Well looks like I flipped for no reason. Crazy coincidence I guess, rad cap failed so it was straight open, guess it probably sucked in a big air bubble, oh well for the better. I thought it kinda odd for me to out of the blue blow a head gasket on a stock stang, I mean come on, its not a dodge 4 cylinder.
