Thanks for the replies,
It does not knock, and I will watch for it over boiling, as far as I have noticed it has not over boiled since I put in the new radiator. I think I will put the first guage back in because I don't even know if what I have in there now is even hooked up right. With the first guage it would go up to as much 230 then go back down to 200 and that is about where it stays. When I had the whole engine apart there did not seem to be any build up in the block although I did not go through it it looked good. I get nervous when it goes up to 230 and stays at about 200. I will look at pulling the thermostat and drill a hole in it and I guess the last thing I can think of is changing the water pump, although I have never had a problem with a 53-54 water pump except for when they start leaking. I have made sure that the belt is tight enough also. Any other thoughts will be appreciated.
Thanks Steve
