I mean how different can a 97 be from a 96, if the 96 has issues and 97 does not. Also, the M in NORMAL is what? We don't know, do you? Put a real gauge on it and find out. The radiator also has almost 20 years of crap in it, assuming it's the original, so that would be replaced 1st regardless of anything else. Or someone put in a higher t'stat, who knows. If it's staying on the mark the cooling system is doing its job. If it's overheating, it is not. Being on the M rather than in the middle could be a little difference in the cluster, a temp sensor with the resistance a little off, tstat a little higher, water pump maybe showing it's age, etc.Sounds like you're getting the better end of the deal and $500 in mod money!!</blockquote>
