i have an 87 camaro and whenever i drive it i fear it overheating. its got to the point where im kind of double thinking going on longer type trips because i may have to stop on the side of the road to let the motor cool down a bit. i was talking to my friend tonight, who owns the same generation camaro, and almost the same set up i have and said it could be the water pump, radiator, or headgaskets, and also that the temperature should not be going as high as it does.

the car hits 220-230 on normal drives around town, 240 on extended trips. the wierd thing is, the water pump has less than 500 miles on it, so does the radiator...but should i rule those out? could there be anything else to look at besides the waterpump radiator or headgaskets?

the car gets so hot i can feel the heat from the motor on my legs sometimes

any help would be greatly appreciated thanks guys.
