It feels good

I finally got to drive the Dart today
I had to take my Dart to motor vehicle for a VIN check
I cannot describe how good it felt. This is my first car in many years.
Driving down the highway I never exceeded 160 degrees.
Is that too cool?? I did install a 160 thermostat
I probably need to play with the timing as the is bad pinging when I punched the pedal, and its running very rich, despite a new carb and plugs.
Looking to drive around a bit before the next project on it
