Marvin,
So you done about everything you can to cool the car down. Have you checked
the calibration of the temp guage and sending unit?
Pull the sending unit and guage out. Get a 12V lantern battery, and some
aligator clip leads. Lay it out on your kitchen counter and wire it up.
Then take a pan and put either water or (oil if you want to go above 212)
in the pan. Place a candy (cooking) thermometer in the pan, and heat.
Watch the 2, see if they track. Or you can try replacing the sending
unit. (But I'd still check the new sending unit.)
