1  Rich...makes an engine run cooler....

2   What's hot?   Can you hold the dipstick?   Is there "crackling sounds?"

Note:  If you just added  Thermostat Bellows.....they don't open until the 
air is 225 F!!!

3  Is your  telltale " Temp/Pressure"  light illuminating?   Most likely it's 
40 yrs. old  and BAD!
