Dad's 74

My dad bought a 74 from the dealership that had installed the ac. He lived in Long Beach and had to have the engine rebuilt , I think, before 100K miles.
He moved to Santa Barbara and i remember riding with him to a pca event and the oil ran at 250-280, Scary. He said his shop said not to worry.
He passed and left me the 911. After fixing the "Perished" fuel return line that passed under the left hot air valve, I removed the AC, so i could run a factory thermostat and factory lines by the right rocker to a carrera fender oil cooler.
No further scary oil temps.
