just bought a 1988 regal sebring W/ a 4 bbl 4.3 L v6. alpha 1 merc. took it to the lake today for the first time. at idle speed, in or out of gear it over heats! temp needle goes above 3/4. as soon as the rpm's are above 2000 it drops to normal. does not over heat at all w/ muffs. is this normal? should i maybe check the thermostat? the impeller was replaced last year. any help would be great. thanks.
