Question...what is the normal running temp for a 1972 340

Thanks for the Reply .....I will try that, i'm kind thinking i did that when I first took everything apart .....not for that reason ,,,just to drain the motor and radiator when I started ...but I will check that out again .
After changing all that I have changed I still have the very same problem .......so I'm just guessing I did all that for nothing ......except having a lot of new parts.


BINGO..... Moving to fast thru the radiator. ie not enough time for heat transfer.

So many times this gets over looked... Just like running no thermostat.

" The coolest i could get is a "185 so i didn't use any" How many times have we heard that. Bad move.
