Reply to "Too cool?"

Charlie, on the slow warm up I think you're right, it's the thermostat, we'll see next week.
The reason I took the 180F is that I've read that all carbureted V8s had it back then, it's only since emissions came along that 192F were used. That, plus the fact that the center engine layout poses extra challenges on any cooling system, made me think rather be a little low than high.

Funny by the way how the needle on the gauge has to at approx 3/4 to be showing the ideal temperature, more clever gauges have the ideal temperature in the middle vertical position
