To expand on gtoformula here is what I have and run 170 all day long.

Manifold Vacuum with Vacuum Advance
9 initial
48 cruise
33 WOT all in at 2500rpm

Electric fans start at 180 and I have a 170 Thermo. I have a feeling your factory timing specs use ported vacuum and very little advance timing making the car run hotter than it should.

Get the shroud and do searches on here about the fan shroud, many aspects to keep an eye on concerning fan and shroud clearances/distances etc.
