I'm just wondering about the 318 Chrysler, my temp sensor was not working so I replaced it, seemed to be good, but now under full speed it goes up and reads 220, the manual says it should not be more than 200, I checked the water flow from the raw water pump and it looked good, I checked the water flow from the enclosed system and again it looked good, What I'm wondering is about the amount of water in the enclosed system, the holding tank which sits on top of the engine is almost level with the manifold's, This is the tank holding the antifreeze water, when I pulled the hose off the end of the manifold, without the engine running, no water came out, I would think there should be water there all the time, Should I remove the radiator cap and then start the engine, the water should draw down as it goes into the manifold, at that point add more water to fill the reservoir, what do you think, couldn't hurt or bad idea Thanks
