[Chevelle-List] thermostat recommendations?

[Dan McIntosh]

Howdy.. On the way to a show the other day, my car got up to about 220�F. I think the current thermostat is a 210�F unit... This was in stop and go traffic on a high 80's, low 90's type of day... I am running the stock 5 blade fan, and a full shroud. It is a 1971 El Camino 350 engine.. in a 1964 Impala Is this a common operating temp for this motor? What do you all commonly do to reduce the temp... I used water wetter in my Mustang, and it seemed to work OK, but it could have been the placebo effect...   Thanks people!     Dan McIntosh Pavement Scraping 1964 Impala SS http://www.alloldchevy.com
