trying to warm it up

ok well tonight roads where dry so I took the beast out for a drive.. it was 12 degrees F.. I had put card board in front of my rad to see if I could get it to warm up some more.. again I could only get it to 120 F.. must be that stewart pump along with the 180 robert shaw .. should be ok this summer though???? I imagine it's harder on fuel when the ecm sees a cold temp like that eh? she ran pretty good.. just once I was cruising about 60km/h and barely touching the fuel.. in od and torque converter locked I press the fuel just a little and she sputtered.. I'm at 175km's.. I'll probably do my first oil & filter change this weekend.. oil is starting to get some colour to it.. easier to see on the dip stick..

Running that cold it probably never went into closed loop mode. Thus was running rich at a set BLM of 128.
