Glowing red hot exhaust manifold/ coolant gushing from radiator fill-up neck!!!

After installing a new head gasket and finally getting my 1990 n/a supra to crank I discovered I had a miss. I actually had good throttle response with the miss, but today I installed a new distributor cap, rotary button, plugs, and plug wires. I got it idling perfect with no miss, but when I gave it gas the rpms slowly climbed and topped out at 3500 rpms. Also when I turned the car off I could hear the radiator bubbling and dream was blowing from the overflow tank, so apparently the car got a little hot. Can over heating cause sluggish throttle response? Thanks for any info, I am open to any suggestions!
