Additionally, since the IR gun only measures surface temperature, you have no idea what the internal temperature actually is. While not convenient, I suggest replacing the electric unit with an aftermarket manual temp gauge to verify--do you have a dash light or console gauges?
As you said, its always run hot. So if the 327/210 didn't.....

Regarding timing, what is it set at with respect to idle rpm, vacuum advance unplugged? Is the carburetor correct for your application?....jet size?

Is the inner fender orginal? It could be the actuator mount bracket bolts are not drilled in the correct location in the inner fender.

Kevin,
Can you define "running hot"? That's a subjective term and leaves a very broad interpretation.  Assuming the radiator is clean, is it a 2 row or 3? 50/50 mix? Correct accessory belts and pulleys? Timing correct?

My understanding it was a colored wax.

Look here.

I'm with GMAD. It might have been flagged but someone made the decision to let it ride. If anything broke, warranty would cover it.

So this is the unicorn we've all been waiting for?
Here's some rabbit hole reading.

A full size spare is standard equipment, whereas the space save was an additional cost. If you're looking for something esthetically pleasing, here's an example of a few on ebay.

I have a friend looking for a Rochester Quadrajet. 1968 396/350 automatic transmission. Per the CRG chart 7028218   EH. It doesn't need to rebuilt-he has a local builder who will do that. Any leads are appreciated. Thanks.

I can't see the link.

I messaged him on EBay...

Pictures with numbers will tell the people here everything, before making any decisions about fact or fiction.

Is there a picture of the trim tag or VIN plate? I didn't see either. The ride height is ugly as well.

I'd appreciate a bit more to understand. If the end of month total is 4745 in September, how does this VIN not translate to not being a 1st week build?
