I'm think I may have a problem. When I run my 1978 newyorker 440 engine and it gets heated up I can shut it off and restart it about 10 minutes later and the coolant gauge will be close to the hot mark. I can run the engine for a minute or so and it cools back down. Since this is the oldest vehicle I have owned before I was just wondering if it's normal. I have talked to a few people and they saw its normal heat soak. I have replaced the thermostat with a 180 degree one when I flushed the coolant system. Replace the radiator and fan clutch. The outside temp where I live varies from 75 to 95 lately. Has anybody else had their car do this before. Any advise. Thanks
