Drive down here and it'll run that hot.

Thermos begin to open at the designated temperature, they're not fully open then.

I had the 87, my fan clutch ALWAYS seemed on when it was even remotely warm out, makes a slow car even worse. Put in the 79, I much prefer it... I still have clean oil and reach plenty hot temps.

I have new water pump, Xerex coolant, new Behr rad, etc. No issues w/ my cooling system.
