Bill,

Checked out the plumbing today after talking to you. The hose that comes out of the bottom of the surge tank actually goes to a fitting in the top of the radiator on the low pressure side.

I am going to remove the hose that now goes from the T-stat to the surge tank and plug the fitting in the surge tank. I should then have only ONE hose from the bottom of the surge tank to the top of the radiator and the radiator cap overflow hose to the bottom of the overflow tank.

We ordered the GM bleeder valve and it will be here next Monday. We'll then bleed the air and hopefully all will be much better. I will check temps with my infrared and see then what the gauge reads. If in doubt, I will replace the gauge and we'll go from there.

I will keep you posted. Thanks for all your help.

Mike
