RE: [DML] Overheating?

Roy, Call me if I can help. Most of the time the thermostat will that type
of over heating providing the radiator isn't stopped up and the fans are
coming on and working ok.

Hello.. I picked up my Delorean on Tuesday and drove towards Kissimmie, FL
from Homossasa, Fl.  About half an hour into the drive the AC quit and I
noticed smoke coming from the engine compartment.  The AC Compressor had
frozen up
and the belt wassmoking.  We poured water on it and were able to  free up
the
compressor pully and disconect the AC.  I then drove to Orlando  with out
AC.
 The car ran fine until we hit stop and go.  The engine  who was running so
nicely started to heat up and then it would cool down.   As I sat at a
traffic
light, waiting on a change of light to pull into our hotel  and I watched
the
needle rise up.   As I drove into the  parking lot I watched coolant come
out
from the stainless steel  tank over flow pipe.  I turned off the engine and
coasted to a spot  and parked it.  I then lifted the engine cover to allow
all
to cool  down.  Much latter I added water and circulated the water to remove
any  bubbles.  This morning I drove it to a repair shop to get it worked
on..
All Car Shop.  They advised me that they have worked on Deloreans before
and
would let me know what was wrong.   Don from California was very  helpful
and
has offered his advice over the phone to them.  Any suggestions  would be
helpful at this point.
