okay, what i had to with my 90(closed cooling system) was to pop the radiator hoses off and to feed the coolant through.

Gotta new stat but how old are other cooling system components? Water pumps that look like this don't make for good coolant flow. Water pump could be fine but the rad is plugged. Time for a little maintenance?
