210 in traffic is good. Cars running r134 a/c run a little hotter than those running the old r12. I have one of each and have to keep reminding myself of this. But a/c aside, 200 -210 in traffic is average. Even 220 with the appropriate lcoolant mixture is okay. I have had a streetrod run as hot as 240 - 250 with no damage. The electric fan circuitry failed and the only cool air I could get was go fast air. Would not want to repeat that experience, and glad the engine was not of the aluminum variety.
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
