However- - - -the heater core might be another matter. I'd strongly advise getting the heater rebuilt with a high pressure capable core, and installing a 15-17 PSI radiator cap and a coolant puke tank. Then don't get concerned about coolant temperature unless you see lots of overflow. Anything below 230 degrees is normal. Jerry
