Possible over heating
Just watched my temp gauge read about 3/4 the way up the gage. I got a digital thermometer (the laser type). The outlet is reading 193*, the outlet 162* Seemed normal to me. The rotor housing are reading 220*-228*.
All are pretty normal, until I got to the headers. RB full SP setup, the front header was reading 530* and the rear was 300*. Either the front is running lean, or the rear is not running for ****. Can someone help?
This is my only car, I can't afford to put a new motor in it.
Thanks,
Bryan
EDIT: Thermostat housing and temp sending unit at 220*. What's the normal temp for these things?

Float levels ok, Car runs good, but hesitates and stumbles slightly at low speeds, IE 2000-4000 rpm. Runs fine when I get on it. It just started happening today. Quite powerful, don't notice a difference in power.
I'm stumped. Also, the termostat is working properly, as the upper hose is hotter than the lower by 30*. No leaks, and oil level is good. Like I said, I'm stumped.
