Thermostat temp '77 280z
Another possiblity-in the morning,block off half your radiator and see how it re-acts.In my 620 if the temps are below 50, i have to block off half the radiator to get the temp up to 180(with a 180 stat.)ANd with temps in the 70's it'll stay at 180 or a hair above.ANd when i pull the cardboard out,it'll sit like a rock at 180.
