I should also add that in the interest of cooling, the horn holes are block=

Graham, Is this a new problem or has it always been like that?

I=E2=80=99ve been troubleshooting what I thought was a hot-running motor.  =
 It=E2=80=99s mid-summer in the mid-Atlantic, and I have a triple-black Tig=
er, so not the ideal scenario to run cool.   The car=E2=80=99s been running=
 between 210 and 220 at 50 mph on level roads.  It doesn=E2=80=99t get a lo=
t of miles, so I thought the radiator might need a flush.  I changed the th=
ermostat (180deg) at the same time.   Same temps.  I pulled out an infrared=
 thermometer and with the car idling, the temp gauge was indicating ~ 215 w=
hile the infrared thermometer was reading 183 when pointed at the water out=
let and F4B manifold.   I ordered a new temp sending unit from Rick =E2=80=
=93 any other suggestions?   

 

Thanks as always,
