So the thermostat comment brings me to another issue. The car seems to run very warm. At the the third mark and slightly higher. The only thing I have done to the cooling system was make sure it was full and put a 7lb cap on it as the one grandpa had on it would not actually latch down. I attached the picture of the gauge. Does that look close to right? Sorry, don’t know why I can’t rotate the picture to its correct orientation
