Hey folks. New member, and new to fixing and driving 235's.

I have a 1962 Grumman Olson Kurbside step van built on a Chevy P30 platform from the factory.

It's got a 235 in it. I'm wondering what normal operating temperature should be? I have no idea.

Also, I put a 180 degree thermostat in it which, I believe, was the standard thermostat for it. I live in NM where we have very hot summers, and relatively mild winters. Does that sound about right?

Please let me know if I need to provide any more information.

Thanks!
