help with cooling sensor problem
Just finished installing a fresh 406 in my 90 C4 , got a little over 3 gal. of coolant in it, first run water temp was at 110 then spiked to the high limit (buried like something was wrong withe gauge), shut it down and next day added another 1/3 gal., ran for 20 min. then spiked again, let it sit for the night and in the AM was able to get a little more coolant in, almost made it to work before it did it again. Is my sensor or sending unit messing with me or do you think it is possible it is just seeing steam from trapped air or something? help plz. this is my first experience with a vette and want to know if there are some tricks to the cooling system or do I have a problem thanks

Any input or comments welcome on this since I am not a mechanic, just trying to throw in a few pennies here.
