Whats up everyone? I've got a 1996 GT and for the passed 5 months, I've been having some pretty big overheating issues, the car has vaporlocked on me twice. I've replaced the radiator because it was bent due to a crash (car started overheating a month after the crash so that's not the issue unless the bent a.c. condenser would be causing airflow restrictions), I've put a manual gauge inline after the thermostat so I had a numerical reading of the coolant temperature, done multiple coolant flushes, replaced the tstat numerous times, replaced the reservoir cap fo the radiator reservoir, and just yesterday I put a new intake manifold on it because it was cracked, originally was just replacing gaskets and then noticed the crack which was silicone up by PO, the cars still getting hot, as in upwards of 212 on the highway, it has a 190 stat in it right now but I plan on putting a 180 or maybe even 170 in it. I've burped the system since the manifold replacement and made sure there was no air in it and just as another measure of reassurance, the car is parked nose up right now with the reservoir open. Anybody have any ideas what the issue could be at this point because I'm at a loss.
