Plan A is find a used from a later gasser at the knackers tomorrow (predicted
high of 63F, whoohoo!). Plan B will be a toggle switch to provide full power
until I can repeat Plan A.

Yeah, a few things. I wish none of mine were '85s. Don't like
them.
They have the KLIMA system that ties the tachometer and the AC

I think the key point is that the coolant doesn't seem to be circulating.
If you don't have hot water in the top of the radiator when the engine is
hot, you don't have circulation. Without circulation, you will overheat.
So either (1) there is an obstruction, (2) the water pump isn't working, (3)

I really think that would be the next troubleshooting step. Jam the t-stat
full open to force full flow to radiator, if it still over heats, either
obstruction or water pump (or cracked head, leaking head gasket, bottomed out
head bolts, but there are other tests for those).

I prefer eBay, but I will say that any more they are horribly skewed in favor
of the buyer. It's almost comical how sellers will schmooze you to death to
make sure you're happy with your purchase for fear that you will give them
negative feedback. Good if you're a buyer, bad if you're a seller

Sounds like a winner. Good job!

Craigslist but again you get a ton of flakes.I know what you mean about

guy got a terrific deal. Then I screwed up and shipped it to the wrong place.
The place I shipped it to wouldn't ship it back so I refunded the buy
