104 degrees 8BA ran good!
I always read threads on how flatheads overheat so I was anxious to try mine out in the summer heat. Got it out on the Freeway for about 20miles in about 103-104 degrees going 65 mph or so and the temp gauge never got above 165.
The next day I ran the truck through town in stop n go traffic for about an hour or so and never got above 165 again. I'm pretty proud of her right now.
