RE: engine is always hot
go to your nearest parts store and grab one of these
spill proof radiator funnel kit
around 25$.
drain the radiator again, and refill using this.
start the engine, and let it IDLE all the way up to operating temperature. This could take up to 25 minutes.
when the thermostat opens, you will see the coolant suck down into the radiator.
at this point, refill the funnel until air stops coming up through it, place the plug in the funnel, remove the kit, and replace your radiator cap.

yes, as you can see, this funnel completely seals to the radiator cap hole, via the adapters. its the only 100% sure way to not let air enter the system while filling
those rubber rings on those 2 adapters go into the rad opening, then you place the provided cap over it and seal it down, just like a regular rad cap.
then the funnel slides/seals into the adapter. 100% airproof.

Crazy cobra speed, please understand that when you overheat your engine you will possibly damage a head gasket or worse, the engine. To actually spend money on something that will not improve your horsepower but will protect yourengine is wise investment. Don't be afraid to spend $25 on the burp kit, Hell, I just bought water wetter as a last ditch effort before I will buy an Al. radiator, my car runs hot too. Oh, by the was, take your time and learn to type a complete sentence. It will help you in the future.

I am able to type in complete sentences. I, however, do not like to type in complete sentences because of the tons of teachers harassing me in all my classes on a daily basics. The language used on the internet is, while not correct grammar, understood my many. I use full sentences is proper grammar only when necessary, I do not believe a site in which people chat about mustangs (proper noun) is a place required to type as though they were typing a report.

That aside... Spend the $6 on a new stock sending unit for the stock gauge and see if that fixes your problem. You could have tweeked the old one when you did the H/C/I.
