Underheating problem

Just put a "fresh" 3.2 in my 84. Old one was stock with 241K on it, new one has only 103K.

As part of the install, new motor has a heat block-off plate on the left hand side.

It's pretty cool and raining now, but just drove around for 45 minutes, sometimes in traffic, and it got to maybe 130 degrees. I have a real temp gauge. The other day, 65 degrees and sunny, I couldn't get it to 180 romping around town.

Is this posing any problems I should know about? Is this normal?

Motor also has test pipe and stock muffler, and a 93 octane SteveW chip.
