		Is it staying at 180 deg, or is it overheating?
  If your radiator is keeping up, a lower t-stat may reduce the underhood temps.  If it isn't, it won't.
  If your timing is retarded, your underhood temps may soar.  The reason is because the air/fuel may still be burning in the headers.  If I have my timing retarded too far, I can feel the heat from the headers.  I'm pretty sure the same thing will happen if you are running lean.  |
