When i bought my 89 gt it leaked water from some mysteriouse place and it over heats. So i have been playing with it and iput in a thermostat.. ( it didn't have one i found out ) I put in a 180 thermo and 50/50 water and antifreeze and ran her around town but to my surprise here comes 180 then 200 then 210 "oh s!it" and i run her home and put the fan on her. What could be the problem? could it be a stopped up radiator? I undid the drain (pitcock my dad calls it) and it was stopped up to barely even a drip!.. so i am going to pull it out tomarrow and take it to the shop to be flushed... could that make it overheat (overheat to me is passed 200)
