i dont know 76 it wasn't water and it couldn't have been 260 at the rad. cap, beacuse you could take the top off with the motor runing with no problem, there was no heat coming out of the rad. that you could see. it was like the block was 260, and the fluid wasn't. i may over stated cool, but it wasn't to hot to work around. the only problem i had was at 260 the starter wouldn't work, it had to cool down to around 240 and then the starter did ok.Originally posted by 76GMC1500
If your water temp was 260 and you could stick your finger in the radiator tank, that means your tstat wasn't opening or you weren't getting the water out of the block quickly enough.

I bought the 76 in August , but haven't been able to work on it. When I get a chance I'll post some pictures.
