Well, thermostat had the hole at the top, looks brand new, I'll test it tomorrow.
Patrick: overheating is something I've been dealing with since I put the motor in 5 yrs ago.
But most of that driving was in Florida heat and traffic. I added the Taurus fan a while back, and that appeared to solve the problem. worse stopped or slow traffic , when you need it most, the water pump is turning slowly. I have the stock crank pully, and an aluminum W/P pulley (smaller than stock)
Tim: That thermostat looks like it would do the job ! I was looking for them earlier today, but they didn't list them on their website !?
Phil: It was in correctly, and had the hole.
I will flush it and ck timing.
I will also re-visit Tom Kirkhams post re: vac advance, as I recall it had info regarding idle timing.
