but yea i hear ya on the timing retard and the pulley and i do appreciate your advice/input
to get into closed loop the engine needs to be over 180* (the whole purpose of the 160 stat was to keep it in cold start mode) I am in south Alabama (read hot and humid especially compared to Atlanta I lived there) and have a 180 in mine and just barely touch 200 in traffic
