Default Re: ‘36 LB. temp ranges, thermostats?

I have it now to about a 30/70 mix as when I puked all the coolant I replaced it with just water and one bottle of water wetter. It still went north of 200 but slowly. Yesterday I pulled the hood and took it for a drive. I stopped a bunch of times and let it idle for a bit, then I would move again for a mile or so and repeat the stop and idle. It never got over 185. I am wondering if my hood was trapping all the hot air. With the hood on, hot air was pouring out the side louvers. I will give it a few more test runs to verify.
