Steven,
You can check the thermostat very simply by immersing it in a pan of
water and slowly heat up on the gas/electric stove. Let a mercury
thermometer (1000C +) dangle in the water without it touching the bottom
of the pan. Just note at which temperature the thermostat starts to open.
Cheers,
Kees

Kees,
The temp sensor is in the radiator, top, passenger side. I'm pretty sure
my thermostat is not functioning correctly and a new one is on order. As
soon as I have it installed and we get some more hot weather, I'll
report back on my findings of driving up hill in the heat.

Steve, where is the temperature sensor on your car as it surprises me
that the temp reading is lower than the opening temp of the thermostat.
The temp in the tophose/top radiator should be a tad over the opening temp.
