Re: overheating 95 caprice wagon LT1

Does the car have a high rate of fuel consumption? Any MIL?

Check that the radiator is unrestricted - if you see any calcium buildup in it at all, it might need to be 'rodded'.

My guess is the problem is one of cooling capacity if you're absolutely certain that both exhaust systems are unrestricted. This would point to a (partially) clogged radiator.
