hey guys,
thanks for all the ideas. And to answer some of your questions, yes, I had a radiator shop rod and clean the radiator. they said that there are some fins that are not attached. I have checked for leaks, and have had the head off a number of times replacing the head gasket. we had the head magnafluxed and found no cracks. I will probably end up replacing the radiator, but it concerns me that when it heats up, and I back the speed down below, say 47, it will cool right back down. to me, that does not seem to be a circulation problem. Anyway, I appreciate all of your ideas, and it is great to hear from other A owners. I will have to get a photo of mine in here when I get a minute. thanks again.
