k. checked my timing and its nothing crazy average.

Fuel is now 14.7-15.2 at idle he said this was fine.

Fuel at wot is 10.5-12 on the rich side but I will take that for now.

Still getting hot. 220 in minutes

Hughes said maybe clogged rad. Fan in the incorrect spot or waterpump bad.

Hughes said mopars just dont run hot and my stock radiator was more than fine for a 408

going to change the radiator cap. Lower radiator hose.

T-stat is opening because upper hose is hot. but will change it for giggles anyway.

going to run a garden hose through my radiator to see if it is blocked.

Isn't the opposite of this true? When I bought a new temp. sensor, they gave me the one with two prongs (the one on the right side of the thermostat housing).
