Standard thermostat, is a high flow actually any better?

Just test drove it today again and I found the rad cap wasn't sealing. I will pick up another one tomorrow. That should take care of the boiling issue and maybe I am being paranoid about the heat soak.

I always use Teflon tape for that type of sensor.

Block flushed several time with block drians pulled. Rad flows great / no cores plugged. I will try timing and afr. Thermostat installed in correct direction. I guess the main thing I am wondering is it possible or if someone has had a hot spot in the block causing the bubbling / boiling issue...

Yeah I definitely can get an actual temp, but right now my factory gauge and my Holley sniper sender both say the same thing. For coolant I use a 50/50 Premix and have tried adding Lucas coolant additive.

I agree the coolant shouldn't be boiling at 215. I am concerned because it sure acts like it is boiling by the sound and feel of the hose. So I am worried it is boiling just at a hot spot in the block. The bubbling / boiling is concerning to me.

I got the car running about 4 years ago, it has been doing this since then. But seems to be getting worse. I did drain and flush the block several times before changing the rad. Timing is around 10 degrees at idle I believe. It has done this with the stock distributor and also I installed a...
