Ok so I finally got my thermostat housing to seal and I put in a 180* thermostat. I had my cougar idling there for a while and I was messing with something else when i noticed a huge white cloud emerge from the engine bay. I ran over there and looked and coolant was just spewing out of the upper radiator hose where it meets the radiator. The overflow tank was filling up with boiling coolant and the radiator cap was hissing. The temperature was in the normal range between the o and the r. Once i shut it off i noticed that the fan got unplugged somehow so i plugged it back in and it still did not work. I will have to look at it tommorow and see if it works once I turn defrost or the ac on.Do you guys think it is time for head gaskets or do I have another problem? I have a '89 XR7 parts car that i may take the fan control module and see if that solves the fan issue. I should have some time tomorrow where i can look at it some more and pull the plugs and see what the oil looks like or if there is anything else I should look for?
