Hi all - I have a 66 Tbird that I just got running after many years in a field. I'm slowly getting it back in running shape and I had a question about temperature. I took it out for it's longest trip yesterday for about 30 minutes and got it good and hot. When I got back I checked the engine temp with a laser thermometer and the intake manifold was about 190F but the cylinder heads were about 380F and there were some wisps of smoke coming out of the oil filler. It seems like this is way too hot - is it? I have a new water pump coming for it this weekend and just got an oil change last week. Temperature sensor or gauge is currently dead so that why I was using the laser. It runs pretty smoothly otherwise and didn't seem to mind the heat...

Thanks...
Mark.
