Hi Bryan,

It turns out the radiator had no air. I jacked up the front end and opened the
bleeder and fluid came right out.  I had it up on a rack at a friends Amoco and
noticed no leaks and both lines and the radiator were hot. I do have heat, so I
know it's not a thermostat. But I did notice the radiator fan was not kicking
in. The temp was up there, but still no fan. I jumped some wires on the fan and
it does work. Either a relay or thermo-sensor switch on the bottom of the
radiator is my guess.

Any  suggestions??
