My BJ8 is now running at 160 to 165 degrees. She use to run at 185. Some one
has suggested it may cause a problem for my exhaust valves. Car runs very
well. (interior not hot which is nice). This all seemed to happen when I had
the dizzy rebuilt and was told to advance the timing until I got a ping then
back off a few degrees. I ended up  set at 22 degrees (until I moved it back
to 19 this morning but got not increase in temperature and still runs great.)n
Should I be concerned. My wife in enjoying the cooler feet. ( I'm still
running with the original 4 blade using water wetter and 50/50 antifreeze).
