I have put a new waterpump and new thermostat and yes it will go almost to the red then the fans kick in and it will go back down to about mid way then the cycle starts all over again. It don't do this when I am driving down the road. The switch is original and may just need replacing. Has anyone used the lower temp switches I see out their, I live in Florida and it can get very hot here.
As for vacuum, I have replaced all the hoses large and small with new factory hoses except for the one going to the brake booster, I am waiting on backorder but it looks good and the booster is holding vacuum. I have new fuel regulator and dampener but think the one way valve on my fuel pump is bad because it does not hold pressure after the key is off for very long. I need to make an adapter to check my fuel pressure just for piece of mind.
No I do not have pictures that I care to share, it is not very good looking right now, the interior is out of it except for the drivers seat, I am replacing it all. I have purchased several interior parts used, have new carpet to install and I have used seats to install after I recover them. It is a ongoing project, I just want to get the mechanical items addressed and in very good condition then I will tackle the interior. The exterior is not bad, a few nicks and bings and has a cheep paint job that needs redone. I have a friend that manages a highend body shop and when the time is right I will turn it over to them to make it look proud again. Then I will post before and after pictures. But right now it is not much to look at. I have over spent my budjet but when I am done and on the road I will know it will get me their and in style.
