I think she's over heating..
 

Well it finally hit 100 over here in east side of WA.
I have a new pump, shroud, flex fan and 180 thermostat.
Plus a puke bottle that was a washer fluid bottle..
and new radiator cap..

today after driving on the highway, i pulled off and had to go up a hill which I do everyday to get home.. good size hill at 35-40mph..
My temp gage hit dead center or maybe a hair over center..
Should I worry??
What do you think that temp could be..
Oh yeah its a bbc 402 with a 3 core radiator..

thanks

Did it push any water into the puke bottle? If it didn't overflow it you are still in good shape in my view.

I'll check that when after i drive it home this afternoon..
I don't think it pukes when running it. Just the normal after you shut her down..
