it. Naturally, if you don't have
the capacity or capability to cool the water (system clogged, radiator
too small, etc.) it's not going to run cool with any degree stat.

200 degrees is nothing to worry about. When it starts going over 215-220, then be worried. My overheating point is 230. My 454 runs at 185-190 in the heat & humidity of NJ. It has a 180 stat and a stock 7 blade clutch fan with a stock 4 core radiator. My 350 in my 86 Cutlass is the same way.
Keith,
If 200 is all it gets to, I wouldn't be too worried
about it. In stop and go, 200 is not bad at all, if it
was creeping up to 215 on a regular basis I might
think about changing something, if 200 is
uncomfortable for you, try a lower thermostat first, a
lot less expensive!

My 71 Chevelle is overheating in this Bike Week traffic
here in the nice warm sunny Daytona Beach. The temperature is going to 200
degrees in stop and go traffic. The engine block thermostat is working. It come
on right at 180 degrees. I am thinking about changing the fan blade clutch. They
