I had no idea it was that high...perhaps I have nothing to worry about, I have never seen the needle get higher than 235*F, even in the worst of heavy traffic and high ambient temperatures.

How much would you suppose my 15/85 glycol/water mix with the Water Wetter affects the boiling point?

...I should have long ago apologized for the thread drift in my posts and do so now ...it is just that 3 days before the OP posted his question I had gone through the effort to replace my coolant mix using the Water Wetter and had not noticed any improvement, so this thread could not have come along at a better time or been more germane to what was going on with my Cobra!

My sincere thanks to all who have made suggestions!

Cheers!
