That's what I was curious about, thanks for clearing that up.

As far as the T-Stat goes, I just changed it.  Took out an 87 and put in 
a 92.  I'm considering going back to the 87 as the needle never went 
past 100 with that one, but Bruce (who provided the 92) says he runs 
them around 100 all the time.  *shrug*  I think I might go back for the 
summer, as I fear the mild winter is a hint to the cooking temperatures 
we're going to get.

As far as the radiator goes, it's probably the original one, I'm going 
to be replacing it within a month or two due to a small leak.  During 
driving, needle sits just to the left of 100.  At a stop light, it might 
reach 101 or 102.  It just concerns me because that's boiling temp of 
water and most cars have their fans come on way before 220*F.  Different 
designs, I know.

Thanks,
Scott
