i'm taking it that there are no leaks or you would have found them and mentioned them in this post.
my guess is, after the thermo was put in the system was burbbed. you have to get the air out of the system first.
let you car cool down. once cooled, open the tradiator cap. start the car. then pour antifreeze/water until it over flows alittle. if the coolant goes in you need more, if not and it topped off then you are good, put the cap back on and your done.

start the car and make sure sure the fan turns on is what you should do first. rev the motor up while parked the fan should kick on after the temp reachs a halfway. if your car is overheating then the fan should be on automatically.

do you know what the fan switch is? unplug the plug for the fan switch and jump the two pins in the plug. with the key on. if it turns on your fan is good. then just change the fan switch

do that.....
then the bleeder valve will be next to the upper radiator hose.

follow the top radiator hose to the motor. you see where it connects. right on that connection will be a lil nut with a nipple. loosen that till all the bubbles come out....
your car has to be warm for the collant to actually flow throuhg the top tube. you should know if you have one or not by following those directions.
