Re: Escort overheating. Not sure what else to do

sounds like it could be sucking water into the combustion chamber (headgasket), with the engine hot hold a mirror in front of the exhaus pipe and look for condensation, also pull the plugs , if one is getting water inside it will be real clean. also may want to try a compression check., I had a car that was doing same , drove it for years like that. it was definately a head gasket.
