On most boards, that would be called a "bait" post if the original poster didn't respond.

lol sry....my comp. hasn't been working
Not sure how old the core is, but I do have a 192 degree stat in there. I know its not stuck open, its brand new. Now Im thinking it may be the control valve...

If you don't know how old your core is, it probably needs replacing...

Yeah, I replaced mine a few years back, and it made all the difference in the world. Those old cores get stopped up with gunk so don't flow so well.

thanks...i figured it would be the core, condsidering I hadn't looked at it yet. I just wanted to see if it could have possibly been anything else, before I went messing with the core.

Yep, there is more "stuff" you gotta take out to get to the core, but hey.....what do we all have but time when working on these dinosaurs. Look at it as a fun experience. Not to mention band-aids for all the scratches on our arms and hands you will definitely get.

yeah...i've been there once before, when I replaced the core in my '68 Cougar. But hey, it's supposed to warm up a little. Maybe I won't have to do it?? lol....
