After getting all the parts I might possibly need, I checked the cooling system tonight. Coolant was about 1/2 gallon low. Topped off with a 2/3 distilled water-1/3 coolant mix with one bottle of water wetter added. Then pulled the heater core valve since it was the highest point on the manifold to "burb" the system.

Started up the engine and ran it until it reached operating temp. Fan cycled on and off as it was supposed to as did the thermostat. Couldn't get it to go over 185. Cycled between 175 and 185 the whole time.

A few minutes after I put it back in the garage, I found a puddle of coolant on the garage floor. The asphalt outside where I ran it up had just been rained on so I couldn't tell if it dropped any coolant while running. Found fluid leaking from one of the lower radiator hose connections. Clamp was loose. Tightened it up. Hope that takes care of it. Will find out this weekend.
