[Chrysler300] 1962 300 - Cooling Question

[Matt Allyn <allynentertainment@xxxxxxxxx>]

Here's a constant temporary issue I am having....

When car is cold, from sitting all night...
It starts up fine, I warm it up for 2 minutes and then start to drive.

About 5 minutes into the drive the temperature guage begins it s ascent to it's 
normal spot; just about a quarter of the way up from the dead cold position.  
Then the needle keeps going, all the way to the HOT position, where it sits for 
a minute...and then it creeps back down to the quarter mark.

Here is what I have done to date:
- Pulled the NEWER radiator and had it flushed
- Flushed the block out twice
- Water Pump is fairly new on the 45,000, new everything, motor
- Newer Hoses are not collapsing
- Heater core is clean and works
- I have "burped" the radiator

All I can think of is that the Thermostat is taking too long to fully open and 
needs to be replaced??
Who's with me?
(Just a pain in having to lift up that A/C Compressor to make that change.)
Thanks!

Matt Allyn
