The heater does blow very hot, as I usually have it running full blast to help get heat off the engine. I thought I bled it properly (with the little bleed bolt in front of the distributor, there), but it was my first time performing such an action, so I may have done something wrong. Haven't tested the temp sensor, yet. Should be next on my list, I guess.

On a similar note, which may be good or bad (I don't know), is that my cooling fan never kicks on when running, even when the engine has been running for quite a while (like an hour), so I jumped the thermoswitch (on the thermostat housing, not the temp sending unit) so the fan always kicks on when the Ignition is on. I've only had it like that for a week or so and haven't been driving much, so if it's damaging, let me know. I may just need to break down and replace both (thermoswitch & temp sending) units.

And my temp gauge does eventually go up after a little while. It just slowly raises to about the 45% position and remains there, never fluctuating. One thing I have noticed is that when my engine light comes on (for the LAF sensor), the dummy light (aka Shift Indicator) stops functioning. Just wondering if there was any connection between the two, but I don't see why or how.
