Recently I just installed a new aerospace electric water pump 55 gpm, be cool 3 row radiator, 160 tstat, and new hoses on my 11:5 to 1 331 w/ edlebrock heads. No matter what I do the car is still running extremely hot 220 to 230 while driving, but at idle it drops within a minute or 2 back down to 180. I can leve the car idling and it stay steady at 180. I have an auto meter water temp gauge so I'm assuming it's correct
I have ran the car with the cap off got all the air out of the system, I'm running all water with the water wetter additive.
Is there something I'm missing? Do high compression motors run this out. Any advise would be helpful I'm at the end of my rope with this car!!!
