Thank you, Tim. Yes, that does help.

I doesn't boil over. The gauge just reads hotter the more I drive it. It does okay, and indicates about midway when I'm driving and it first warms up. If I stop at a light, it will creep up over half way, and as I drive more, it doesn't want to come down. Also, higher speed driving will push the temps up.

I think I'm going to buy a laser temp gauge at Harbor Freight and check the block when warming up. I still have to pull the radiator again to have it repaired, so, I'll have to see what it would cost to have it rodded out. It was sitting for 27 years.
