Got hot enough to boil for a brief minute in the top hose once... I didn't run it as long thereafter so nothing would be damaged.

Believe so, though I will double check tomorrow. It's currently set to 8deg, when I plugged the vacuum advance line back in there was a significant difference, but the mark stayed at 8 last I remember checking...
Negatory on the flat hose, maintains form.
So, I seemed to have licked it. Was a bad (brand new) thermostat of all things. Pulled it out of the truck and put it and another new thermo in a pot of water. (Both are 180's). The new one opened at 180+/-, the other from the truck didn't until the water began to boil heavily.
That's makes 4 brand new thermostats I went though this week until I got one that worked.
