I finally got my 57 235 in my 41 3/4T running last night.Seemed to run 
pretty hot.  I've got a 180 thermostat, using 41 3/4t radiator (just
back from radiator shop) , using Jack Carter's shortened shaft water
pump.

Question is: Original 216 installed used a non-pressure radiator cap,
should 235 be using a pressurized cap with ?? rating??  Is thermostat
too hot?? any opinions??

Would appreciate any advice!!
TIA
