I put in a 160 Degree thermo in my car, But my gauge still goes up to 220. I have a 89 Firebird Formula, 305. The raditor is new,ive changed the fluid. What could be the problem?? Please help! thanks alot.

 

220 with the AC on? if so, mine does it too...without AC I manage a 170 driving and a 180 to 200 in traffic....not much you can do, I tryed an Edelbrock pump, didn't do much....

 

Mine runs at 220 all the time. No matter what. Its a 160 thermo it shouldent do that.

 

Transferring to the General Engine board. This has nothing to do with PROM burning.
