86, do as the man says, either put a little money into it now and bring it up to a car that won't have you worrying, or get rid of it and buy something else.

If you are going to be doing some travelling for work, you need to make it worry free - DO THE RAILS, CHAIN AND TENSIONER.

You current issue sounds very much like a stuffed t/stat and they are as easy to fix as they are on Fords/GMs.

Cheers
