I have 2 issues. First cold start she will start right up and run but if im out driving turn her off and try too start it's hard too get it too fire back up.
2nd issue I just got this car guy said it got hot once and had too have the head redone etc. Car was fine for a while but I did notice temp needle go from half way too 3/4 .Parked in driveway puked coolant out of raditor overflow. Since the head was off the thermostat housing has been off looks like new gasket . water pump looks too be original and so does raditor

Are you holding the throttle 1/4-1/2 way open and holding it there while operating the starter? It should start within 5 seconds.
That's the factory-approved method of hot starting and it's the method that all my carbureted cars, AMC or not, require for hot start. |

After the head was re-installed, was the choke heater hooked up? The hard start symptoms sound like a choke that is not opening.

A high temperature gauge reading and boiling coolant or steam out the radiator is often a symptom of a cooling system that is low on coolant or forming steam pockets due to a radiator cap failing to hold sufficient pressure.

If the rubber seal in the rad cap is deteriorated it will do that.
I'd also pull the water pump to have a look. I had a plastic impeller let go resulting in overheating.
