Bcc valve

Hey all. I just switched my vacuum lines around to run the vacuum advance on the distributed off of the timed spark port on my Holley brawler. But now my engine temps won’t reach the normal range. Is this the reason? The old routing was from the vacuum advance to the switch on the water neck but I just plugged it off and ran the line to the carb. Or am I chasing something that could just be a stuck thermostat?

I can't imagine why the change would change the temp. It might at idle a little bit, but certainly not overall, and not enough you can see on the gauge.

I think you have a thermostat problem.

The thermostat was the problem it made it into bypass. I replaced with a 180 degree thermostat and flushed the system.
