It seems fine.
This car has always run a decent temperature. The only time I've ever run hot is during camshaft break-in in the summer since I've forgotten to put an auxiliary fan out front.

Hey Larry,

I looked at my older messages & see that I got mine from "hotrod98" a few years ago (His name is Larry, also.) It looks like he hasn't been on here in a while like many members, but here is his profile page. Maybe he still makes these or has a set he's willing to sell?

I don't remember if he's on facebook but will take a look & let you know.

Bob

interesting about the faster warm up, i guess because the "fire" starts earlier in the cycle, there is more time for the fire to heat the cylinder walls before the magic happens. Is there any difference in the running temps? Does it look like it running hotter after thermostat opens / stable temp?

Here is another observation:
When the engine is cold, it also runs better and seems to warm up faster. I am guessing this is because before at a fast idle around 1750 or so, it was still running with only 20-21 degrees of advance while now, it has about 31. Engines aren't running clean and efficient when they are cold and trying to warm up so that is why they need more fuel and I'm guessing, more spark advance. The engine doesn't feel choppy or want to hesitate when cold like before.
Score!
