Question. As I'm driving my temp gauge keeps dropping to about a quarter than down than back to 210. As it happens I hear a weird rattling from the front end. What should I look for when I go under the hood?

Very true. Thanks,
This was suppose to be my winter beater, bought it for $300.00, replaced the floors, radiator, t-stat, front seats, u-joints and tie-rod end. just looking for the easiest way out now. probably just pull it and have it gone through.
Is it true that the 86-90 are the only models that will bolt in? Any info would be appreciated.Thanks
