    Hi fellers, I have a 73 Maverick with a 302 and c4 tran. I have a overheating problem. Since I bought the car I have changed the thermostat to a 180, installed a 1400cfm electric fan, and a new water pump. It still climbs to 200+ while idling. The day I drove it home with none of the new parts it didn't overheat while cruising at all. I'm not a really good mechanic(just startin out), please help me.
