check your oil....is there too much?

no leaks?

when you fill the cooling sytem do the following:

fill up the radiator
open bleeder valve on top of t-stat housing
start the car and fill the rad until no more air bublbes come out of the bleeder valve
close the bleeder valve
cap the radiator
fill overflow tank

drive car to get it up to operating temp and then park it. let it cool down and add coolant as needed to overflow tank

well a 79 accord with 750,515 miles could have lots of places to leak coolant; add that to the fact you are running the original T-belt water pump and Thermostat stuf happens

Is there white smoke from the exhaust on start up? or is that a secret too?
