Thanks Guys for all your help.Yes,the bottom radiator hose is on the passenger side,since its a 68 model.I did make sure that the thermostat spring was facing toward the engine. I am still waiting for the Rad.to come back.The guy is the only Rad.guy here in town and with all this heat (115),he stays really busy.When I get it back.if it still building up pressure,I will remove the thermostat and than try again.It is a new thermos.but like anything,it could be bad.
