Re: [Chrysler300] 1962 300 Overheating Question

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like you have an air bubble in the system.
Run the car cold with cap off and the heater open. As it heats up,  
watch in the filler neck as the coolant flows. Eventually, it will  
settle out, find its level, and then you can add coolant to top it off.
Rev. it up during this process, just to increase flow and push out any  
trapped air.
You may have to add some as the car heats up and the air finally  
escapes. Also try giving the big hose at thermostat a few squeezes to  
push the air out of the thermostat area.
Make sure the overflow bottle (If you have one) is filled up to the  
Hot level
You might also change the Cap if it's old, They get weak over time and  
don't work as they should.

What is my issue?
Maybe the thermostat has some gunk build up from the flush that is a  
clog?
