My temp gauge never seems to exceed 70 degrees centigrade. Is this a sign
that everything is working properly, or is the gauge not reading right?
FWIW the gas gauge appears to be consistently wrong. (reads far too low)
I can test the gauge by disconnecting the lead and grounding it, right?
Also, I was losing fluid out the overflow today- I figured that the Bar's
Leaks had done its thing and therefore I had too much coolant in the rad.
Before it would come out a bad solder joint in the top.
Yes, I know I should have a new radiator. But I don't have the $$$ right
now. I might go for a re-core, or I will see if a newer rad from a
different car will fit.
Another thing I notice- the rad was making slight "gloomf" noises right
after shut down when I got home. Is this normal, or could something be
plugged?
