Solved, Fixed, complete. Going down freeway tonight temp stuck at 180/82C around town stuck 185/85C. Problem was the stupid fuking Mr.Gasekt balanced piece of sheet thermostat. The fuking thing never seals off even when closed!!! Go pick one up and blow through it, it is alway open!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK simple solution Duralast 195F thermostat part number 15359 at Autozone $6.99. It even has a small hole for air bleading. However it has a little brass plug that gets pushed closed when all the air is purged.

I have never seen the car warm up so quick. It was beautiful. Nothing over radiator and bypass hooked up. My testing in hot water on stove showed it opened at 195F and closed at 188F. Thermostats open at the design temp but close about 10F lower, this was consistent will all my testing.
