Just got my 65 tri-pwr 389 rebuilt. Had the distributor recurved. I have 77 heads, 3 row rad.(recored),160 stat.,new rebuilt pump. 744 cam. 4:33 gears.Intial timing is at 12, 36 total. First time out the temp. went to about 195 on hway. soon as I slowed down in traffic 210-215. I run 100LL av gas due to 11:1 comp. Will the temps come down some after some additional breakin time.
