I didn't have an oil temp guage on the last set up. I was running with no thermo and then a 120 deg. thermo with 2x 1/4" holes and either way the water temp almost never even registered and the oil pressure was throught the roof.

If you do not have any gasket issues. Getting it to
run above 212 will clean that milkshake right up.
I would run mechanical oil pressure.
Run a Electric oil temp.
They make dual function gauges if ya running out of room.
You can never have enough gauges.

I've got a new Mocal sandwich type t-stat that I didn't use. I already deburred it and opened it up to max flow. I'll take $75 and ship it to you. I think they are the easiest to use and cost around $90.

I saw those, but I beleive they are set to 180 deg. I'm thinking I want to go with something like the canton that is set to 215 deg. I would certainly like to save the money though, this is getting rough.

I think you can change the pill in it to 212*. Check and if you can i'll make you a deal.

The KE style oil stat is easy to plumb and available in 180 degree and 212 degree.
Also I have a nice M-1 with AW324 intercooler for sale complete for a 7.4, 454 or 502 MAG EFI set up.
