First kink to straighten out, a coolant leak. Checked all fluid levels and colors the other day. The radiator was almost plum empty. Filled her up and watched it push out the overflow and the cap. The engine is out of an 89 Z28, or so he said, so best dad and I can figure out is that the water pump is meant for a serpentine system and is reversing flow. So by Monday, NEW:

Water Pump
Rad Cap
Thermostat
Maybe, Thermostat Housing
