yes on the petcock. Make sure all your fans are coming on @ 180.
check the connection of the water temp gauge and the connection to the motor. a stock thermostat is a set at 190 so that is not to hot, but 225 to 250 is, thermostats fail open normally. Go to your auto parts store and buy a point and shoot Lazar temp gauge, $35.00, this tool will allow you to instantly check the temp on your radiator, water tank, heads, blower, exhaust, etc.
At 225/250 your engine will throw off so much heat your will see it, and hear it, I think you may be getting a erroneous reading on your water temp gauge. One last question, do you have a timing control to retard timing on boost, or is their a set curved distributor.
