  1. 210 is not hot. You have a T stat set to start opening at 195. So why would 210 be hot? The early TBI set ups ran normal temps of 195 - 240. 240 being long grade pulls. The clutch fan should begin engaging at around 150-190 or so radiator discharge air temp. Not coolant temp.
  2. Unplug the connector on the side of the trans. Do you see red fluid? You shouldn't see any fluid at all. The connector is known to crack internally allowing trans fluid into the connector. This will cause a host of issues with shift/ing. You'll need to drop the pan and replace the wire harness internally. Easy DIY. While in there change both Shift solenoids and turn up the force actuator a 1/2 turn. New fluid and filter as well.

  4. Leave it at 4 BTDC Additional timing equates to higher CHTs and oil temp. These BBC engines run hot enough.
