Car overheating, already changed thermostat?

1966 dodge dart keeps overheating. I replaced the thermostat because the car would get hot, then cool down, and vice versa. It does the same thing with the new thermostat. What is causing this problem, the temp guage goes all the way to hot and the car backfires.

Check the timing on the car, It may be too advance. Also backfiring is an indication of anti freeze in your cylinders, You may have a leaking intake manifold or a blown head gasket. I hope its not a crack block. Do you charge your anti-freeze regularly. You may start by having the radiator cleaned. hi happened to me once when I changed the thermostat in my Olds., The thermostat did not seat properly

You need a water pump or your radiator is all plugged up. With the radiator cap off and the engine idling,look to see if the water flows rapidly, of just sits still in the radiator. Watch your face so if the water boils and sprays out,you don't get scalded.
