Thanks to all who replied, it was very helpfull. I'll replace the overflow cap as suggested and watch the temp. It only got up to 100 while it sat and came back down once I got the car moving. I'll also check the electric fan. Also thanks for all the help with the buttons, I have them down now. Looks like my oil gauge is working properly as well.

Some other observations I have figured out from searching this site:

Looks like my drivers seat has the same problem many others have. The only machanical issues I seem to have left are the antenna mast is shot. This shouldn't be a problem to fix. The passenger rear window doesn't work, and I have no dash lights. I'm not all that concerned about the window since the others as well as the sunroof work fine. Is there anything tricky about the dash bulbs? I've already seen a good post on the antenna.

I really love this car and really appreciate a site like this with so many people who seem to like these cars as well and are willing to help. thanks again, John
