The car uses its original, four-speed radiator (no trans cooler) that was recored with a modern three row, copper core.

Here's some temp samples taken with a heat gun:

Outside Temp: 102 degrees
Pavement Temp: 121 degrees
Pass-Side Radiator Tank Temp: 153 degrees
Dr-Side Radiator Tank Temp: 183 degrees
Thermostat Housing Temp: 197 degrees

A/C on Max, center outlet temp: 35 degrees :-)

Factory temp gauge reading: 1 millimeter past the first hash mark (I can just see the hash mark to the left of the indicator needle)
So thats REALLY close to your T stat housing temp, nice!!
now about that ac?? got some R22 in there?? MY brother in law put some in my 68 Camaro and boy she blew cold!!
