1984 245 overheating problems 200

hello all, recently my car began to severely overheat. the waterpump, coolant and hoses are all new. i figured that it was the thermostat, but not having another i just removed it all together. the problem persits, but it is not like overheating that i have ever seen it will run fine for a while the the temp will spike very quickly. by the time i notice the gauge has moved it is near or in the red. the normal range for my car is in the 7-8 o'clock range for the needle. letting the car idle seems to make things better but it does not really seem to be related to engine speed or load. it is very hot here in albuquerque but it has been for a while and this is a very recent phenomeon for my car.


i have heard that the newer than 86? have a circuit board problem that causes similar things to happen. is it possible that my 84 has a newer gauge cluster? do the 84s have a 120mph speedo? any help is greatly appreciated!!!

thanks
kyle
