Hello group,

Problem solved! Thank you for all the advice and recommendations.
I drained the cooling system, re-filled it with water and Red Devil
brand drain cleaner with lye. Drained that, re-filled with water and
baking soda. Flushed that out with clear water. The replaced radiator
hoses (the ones I could get to) and radiator cap (NAPA 703-1422, 10
lbs.) replaced thermostat (NAPA 358-180) made my own gasket. Refilled
system with new anti-freeze.

Test drive sunday was successful! Two hour drive to Colorado Springs. No
leaks!
Gauge never rose above 160 degrees.

Again, thanks to all listers who responded.
