Am I correct?

These are the numbers on my block. I used on line resources to verify everyhing. I am no expert but it may have been a Chevelle motor?
Thanks Greg

Overheating

I will check my records for you. I am running electronic ignition with a new carb. I am running a 180 thermostat and stock radiator. I have never had a problem with overheating. Prior to the ignition and carb change I was running a dual point with a Quadrajet carb. This configuration also ran normal as far as temp was concerned. Probably not much help but I wanted to respond anyway. Greg
