DennisH, I agree...It's reached the point I don't need anymore trophy's. But after performing an OE restoration for show purposes, you either have to show them or drive them...you can't do both and be competitive. Now I've reached the point where it time to drive and enjoy (cruises, etc.) but I can't very well do that until I get the over heating issue solved.

Can someone tell me for sure, if the water pump/thermostat, etc is working properly, shouldn't I be able to see a definite "coolant flow" through the radiator cap opening when the thermostate opens?

Thanks,
