Running Temps

[dardal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Try replacing the coolant.  You may have rust in there like my 68 sedan.  The 
rust is normally out of solution when you start the car, but slowly its mixed 
up and gets into solution.  Then, the coolant effectiveness drops and the 
temperature increases.  When you turn off the car, the rust will come off 
solution again.  So, try draining your coolant when the car shows the high 
temperature symptoms.  That might be your problem.
