The first thing is you will find that you have no heat or defroster. The temp Gage will rise, but the radiator will not overhead. You will also get the radiator fan to kick in sensing the block temperature. You can carefully and slowing open the radiator and the water may either be cold or Luke warm, but your temp Gage is on the hot mark. The thermostat seems to be a real weak link and is connected by (3) hoses, if it is closed than no circulation occurs.
