Well I hooked up an auto meter guage today and it was reading on the cool side, so I guess the guage that worked when pulled from a good running wreck failed when I swapped it over. or a guage from an 87 is not compatible with a 85 22re. When it was getting hot before i did not let it run long enough to find out if it would boil over, did't want to take the chance with a fresh overhaul.
Thanks
