Heating up, what the hell:)!
Okay, I have a 1970 cutlass s with a 350 rocket and AC. Im getting ready to lay behind the car on a hill and let it finish me off, lol! The overheat idiot light kept coming on, so I did the following:
-put in a three core aluminum radiator
-put in a new thermostat(twice, 180 degree vice the 195).
-new water pump
New lower hose(nice and stiff)
-installed a temp gauge (twice)
What I got from both gauges is a crazy fluctuation from 190 or so to 260 in less than one second, and then back down to the 200 or so range. When I stop and shoot the thermostat housing with a temperature gun it says it is at about 200-210. What the hell is causing this
