I know I`ve had gotten more bad t-stats in the last ten years than I`ve ever had before, he should have a 180 and check for opening in a pot with a cooking thermometer, think I would start there first, plus a shroud.

My son`s `68 dart 360 bored 60 over, 9.5 to 1, with stock rad, 180 t-stat shroud and stock fixed 6-blade fan runs at 180 even in 105 ambient temps.

Rich-I'm with you.Don't think the 060 over would have much to do with it.Shroud is one of the big keys.
