Whether it be the T-stat or the pump, you're not pushing any water through.
Since you were already having problems before the new t-stat I'd venture a
guess at the pump...unless you put the t-stat in upside down.

Subject: DML: overheating problems
For a few months now the needle on my temp gauge has been rising to 260 for
just a few seconds and then it falls back to just under the 210 mark. This
only occurs at idle or speeds below 30. Today I installed a Robert Shaw 180
t-stat and now my needle goes to red and stays there. The heater hose is
extremely hot and every hose thereafter is still cold. So could my
thermostat be no good or does it sound like water isnt getting past the
water pump?
TIA guys.
