Re: IML: 73 Overheating..(and more)

If the car is getting that hot you better check the cataltic converter.  Sounds like it is getting plugged up.   Also check your radiator for cold spots in it after you have ran it awhile.  Run you hand around the fins and see it you have cool spots vs warm spots.  If so it is plugged up.
