Re: overheating 258 HELP! Part II
well, it looks like it was a combo of the new temp gauge (off by
a lot) and a faulty radiator cap. Checked with a thermostat at
the filler neck on the radiator showed 150 with a 160 thermostat
in. looks like I need to check the ohm reading on the gauge and
splice in the appropriate resistor. (already bought a new
radiator cap and had it pressure tested at the store)
So glad that is over!

Re: overheating 258 HELP! Part II
Hi Mike,
Been there done that, three times. We couldn't detect a flow
direction, it just ran hot, but not hot enough to boil the water out.
The only way is to eye ball it: http://www.----------.com/waterPump.jpg

Been there done that, three times. We couldn't detect a flow
direction, it just ran hot, but not hot enough to boil the water out.
