Mine always ran hot in traffic or idioling. It even burned up water pumps, leading to leaks and destroying the (expensive) opti spark. I did a lot of grabing at staws attempts at fixing it with no luck. I finally took it to GM and they said its normal to run up to the red line, then go down. It was designed like that for emition reasons. I finally put a Hypertech chip in it to turn the fans on at a lowr temp (boost performance too ;-) ). That fixed the whole problem perfectly! Only draw back is, you have to take it out in the winter or you get no heat/defrosters. Hope this helps. Good luck.
You should be able to find a shop manual at your local library -- make copies of the right sections as they are usually only available in the REFERENCE section...good luck :)

easiest way is to slap on a set of cheap headers and dual exhaust pipes

I need the wiring diagram on a 1986 Chevy silver ado dual fuel tanks
I believe the fan kicks on at 225 but should run around 210. I have a 91 RS and mine runs about 200 but I have dual electric fans and a radiator twice as big as stock.
I owned a 91 Chevy pick up dual. Got it used and the glove box sticker stated that the dual tank option was a dealer installed item.
I have a 1993 with dual air and it holds 4.25 lbs. I Imagine they are the same. At one time there should have been a sticker on the top of the dryer.
230 hp, or 240 hp with the dual-cat option
look at LMC truck company.. they have stock style dual cats and dual exhaust for a 5.7 (350cid) but they'll fit on your 305cid... that is if your 305 is a truck
