Hey all,
The EPA would love to see you running about 225 + all the time as it is as clean as it is going to get there and EGT's are also high for the cats. As an engine builder I would like to see 180 -190 and like 50 degree intake air charge driving in halter top 80's outside but life is a trade off.
Ernie , Hope she is just finding its sweet spot.
Bigdog, What T-stat are you running and is it operating right?
Ron61, 225 when it is 118 outside is darn good but bet ya a nickle after much time at 200+ the valve springs are maybe 60 % of original installed pressure but after 35 years I would be tired too !
