got the radiator on, it was too late to put pressure hose to the old one to see if it was clogged up. we did take it for a test run, down a steep mountain about 40 deg incline and then i ran it back up at 70+mph with the ac opened full blast (had to roll down the windows because it was freezing our a**ess off). it never got above normal temp (below it actually). tomorrow is the real test, 100+ deg and see how it goes.

The saga of my overheating continued until one day the trans died. Had it towed to a transmission shop and it needed a rebuild. so 1500 bucks later, get the car back, it has not gone above normal operating temp since. IT WAS THE DAMN TRANS THE WHOLE TIME!!!
