Installed new radiator drove around the block engine overheated and now will not start?

You need to bleed the coolant system--follow the upper left radiator hose to the engine block, get a 12mm wrench, with the car running, unscrew the nut with a hole on top and loosen it a half turn till coolant starts seeping out. Retighten nut. With the car turned off and engine cooled down, check coolant level in radiator and overflow tank.

My buick skylark is overheating but the fan is still on i just fixed a broken hose clamp and leak and my car is overheating it has never overheated before so why is it doing this if the fan is on?
there might not be enough coolant inside the radiator, i would check that first. also the heat switch might not open so that the coolant cant make its circle.there is a small possibility that the coolant pump has air around it and it cant regulate the coolant around the engine.beware, never open the radiator tap when the engine is hot.if you overheated the engine ( redline that is) you could have done permanent damage to the engine.
