200 isn't terrible but would like to know more. Is it creeping sitting still or moving? I would have to know if it continues to creep or if it does level off before I can discern there's a bigger problem.
Almost all of these cooling issues I see in Arizona are almost always tune related. The rest comes from crappy electric fan designs. Not so much the height or width of the radiator. We own and/or have worked on tri-5 chevys with fairly rambunctious engines and their stock size radiator ( which isn't very big) and they cool fine if everything else is right. |
It does not creep with the ac off. Going down the road I would almost say it overcools because it runs about 176. If it does start getting hot from the AC and sitting still idling if I turn the AC off it starts dropping or at the very least stops. I have a 180 T-stat that opens right on time. 34 degrees total timing. Carb was setup by Ray Klemm. The tune is as good as I can get it with my skill level.
