Actually before you put the new stat in take it out & see if it pukes in 10 minutes. We gotta ID the prob before we go any farther. I wont go into why you need the stat but it's critical and I highly suggest you drill a 1/16" hole in the flat just outside the center "mechanism" section for easier fillups. Keep us posted. EDIT get a 180 stat (no less than 180)


I actually have been reading other posts about why you need a stat and think I have a better understanding of the cooling system now.

I will drive the car around the block tomorrow and see where we end up.

Thanks for helping me troubleshoot this.
