I really appreciate your help in resolving this problem. I am under the gun so to speak with registration of my car and the DMV has given me only a 30 day extension so time is precious. My system is a closed type system in that the upper line runs from the t-stat housing about 8 inches to a t style fill cap. Then it runs to the top of the radiator and back to the water pump inlet. I have an overflow tank which is plumber to the bypass hose fitting on the t filler. I have a short "u" shaped tube that runs from the water pump fitting into the pressed fitting back into the block. Is this correct? My next step will be to have the cap checked. One note is that when I ran the car with the cap off, the coolant seemed to be pressurized and was flowing out of the top of the filler neck. I did place a thermometer in the coolant and verified that the temp was above 195. I did also check the t-stat in a pan of water and it did open at 180. I'll keep you informed. And thanks again.
