Hey there first time poster. Have an 85 Capri that I purchased recently. Has a 306 in it. Holley 650 carb. edelbrock intake and heads, mild cam. It was running rich since i got it. Black smoke from exhaust under load, smells quite rich. Ive tuned the carb and it seems to be where it should be now. Ive noticed recently that the car is not getting up to temp. Gauge reading low-low normal and seems to drop when cruising on the highway. I’m going to start with the thermostat, assuming it may be stuck open. Does anyone know what type of cooling fans came in the carbed 85 5.0’s? Wondering if maybe there is an issue to look for with it. Any other tips on what to check next? Thanks in advance
