Is the gauge reading correct??? An after market mechanical temperature gauge
will confirm overheating or a bad gauge (or an electrical problem).

I have been having a problem with my 3GT overheating and attributed it to
the 40 year old radiator. Well I got my radiator back from being re-cored
with a modern 3 core setup and I am still getting steam coming out from
under the hood after a few minutes of driving. What sort of temp should I
expect? The ambient temperature was in the mid 60s. It has a brand new
radiator and a new thermostat. I am running the stock 4 blade fan with no
shroud. It is sticking right around 200 degrees and when I have to go up a
hill it creeps up to 220 or so. This seems too hot to me. About the only
thing left to replace would be the water pump. Is this a likely culprit?
Thanks,
