Running hot

[fahrvegnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

My reccommendation is to take the cap off, and rev the einge at 4K until the
fan cycles 2 times.  If it is still hot, I think it is the T-stat...
Revving it like this should purge all the air in the system if there is
any...

G/L,
  David

There was definitely air in that upper hose.

Sounds like it could be a thermostat. But I bet it's a bubble. Try
running the car with the cap off for a little while. Burp the system a
bit.

hot and the oil temp is 135'. There is no pressure even when hot! There is
no water coming through the return line to the resevoir. I tried putting
water into the top hose until water was running out of the radiator. The
pump is running, as I have heat.
