Thanks PMD...well, I'm in NW Ohio and only drive on good days...don't need to drive much in cold weather, and the summers here are like everyone else in the mid west...hot and humid. I just wondered if water flowing unrestriced would not disapate the heat at the rad if it was flowing too fast. My belief is, that once the engine temp is at the tstat rating, it is basicly free flowing, except the restriction of the tsat gizzards. I still think I have a temp problem at idle, because even at idle, it shouldn't climb as steady as it does. If putting in an open tstat will help out in the long run, maybe I'll try it. I'm gonna pull the plugs tonight and see what my fuel mixture looks like (haven't pulled a plug since the rebuild).
