Scan it for codes and come back with that. That being said there are a few immediate checks you can do.

First thing I would do is just to be safe, I would do a head gasket test to make sure the coolant isn't leaking - it's usually not the gasket, but once these old GMs get up there in age, a lot of them need head gaskets and if you are having temp issues, it's worth testing. Get a kit like this: https://www.amazon.com/RELD-Gasket-Teste...

The next thing I would do is replace the thermostat -- the part number I found is GM 12622410 and it can be found here: https://www.gmpartsgiant.com/parts/gm-th... -- don't use a aftermarket one, even a good one like a Doorman part. Too sensitive. This code means the thermostat is bad: P0128

The other thing I sometimes know occurs on these "Old GM" vehicles is oftentimes the cluster fails, but the engine portion is fine -- sometimes it can be rebuilt, but often you need to replace the cluster -- you will need a scan tool which can program the mileage once you replace it so it matches so you do not have a "not actual" mark on your title, but if your state doesn't check after 10 years you will want to write the mileage it was replaced at and if you ever sell the car, you need to mention that the cluster is replaced. I have looked into it and it seems like these pull from the ECU, so you may not need to program it, but keep that in mind. GM part number is 16256936.

Do you know where valve to bleed air out of system cause I surely can’t find it and temp sensor wire was all messed up up it was pinch with the heater core hose I got it had lot look water damage dash is in price and everything under the front end has rust I replace most of it I replaced cluster other one u couldn’t see nothing on it

@frankshell35512 There's two ways -- if it has a bleed valve, it's on the top side of the engine coolant outlet pipe (front of engine, near the intake manifold). If not, you fill the coolant tank to the cold fill mark and run the AC on max, you need to add coolant as you go but once it's stable it's bled.

On my small scanner it flag it at 170 and show it at first mark on temp gauge like 125 guess might be cluster lately gas gauge show it almost empty it fill up with 15 dollars or time it fill up with 40 bucks
