I have 1965 belvedere with a 383 car does not run hot but mech temp gauge does not move when car is first started and warmed up. I can be driving car and temp gauge will all of sudden pop up to 180 Degrees.could be 20 Minutes or 1 hr.. car has a cross flow aluminum rad, aluminum water pump and housing mopar performance..mech gauge was a brand new stewart Warner, I did change it thinking gauge was no good. Bought new gauge from summit does the same thing. The other day after car was hot and running, gauge was at 0 I did crack open the temp gauge on the housing and gauge popped up 165 it's almost like there's air pocket but it's been doing this for two years.. once gauge comes up it's ok until car sits overnight or a long time to cool off
