Engine Tech / thanks for the help
mechanical gauge is next to do...drove the car today to work. about 7 mins.. im in pa and its a bit chilly so take that into consideration. when i got to work i popped open the hood felt the hoses everything was warm. felt good. the needle was clearly in the red zone.. question if i was truly overheating would i not have serious signs of headgasket issues.... smoke.. car running like shiznit... something right?

Engine Tech / overheating problem?
ok my needle borders the red line... after normal warm up. i just bought this car and i figured what the hell so i replace 1st thermostat. no change. looked in radiator saw corossion inside. 2nd radiator. no change figured whats left. 3rd water pump.. no change i even replaced the cap and ect sending unit by the distributor. i am at a loss. i dont believe i am air bound however i have already been wrong so i am up for any suggestions... but i did suck the system into a vaccum and it did not change anything . now i know this sounds wierd but when i turn the heat on it seems to raise the needle higher..
