[Coolant restrictor freeze plug]

increasing the fan speed would also increase the heat output of the engine

 But it would also increase water movement by the water pump and air intake.

 Is timing correct?

My car runs right at 180° according to the gauge.  It will, however, creep up to ~195ish when stopped idling in traffic on a hot (>80° F) day.

I wouldn't worry to much if it hits 195 only when idling on a hot day and drops down once you start moving because your antifreeze also raises the boiling point. It's not ideal but doubt it would hurt anything. Does the temperature drop if you remain standing still but run the rpms up?

 If you have installed new radiator hoses put a spring in the lower hose as they are using less rubber and it will collapse.

 I have a 1937 Special and I run a 160 thermostat (1/8 hole in the flange), original fan, unaltered bypass and original radiator and my car usually runs at about 170 in the summer. In Charlotte in 2012 it got up to 185 while idling for a train to pass with the ambient temperature around 100 but dropped as soon as I started moving.

 When I put the freeze plug in my bypass I had mine tack welded in place) the car rarely got above 160 so I went back t my original one.

 Have you flushed the engine? Has it been rebuilt? I've heard after rebuilding the engines tend to run hotter.

very careful torquing

 Although the torque wrench was invented earlier I don't think there was much in the way of torque specs until mid 30's or later. Probably not used much until after WWII.

[FS 1966-1974 Chrysler Left Side Remote Mirror]

 This is a used remote control drivers side remote mirror.  It was taken off my father's 1973 Fury sometime in the 70's and been in the box ever since. The part number is 2935 217.  My understanding is this fits 1966 through 1974 but please make sure it's correct for your car as I'm just going by sellers on Ebay. In my opinion it is a very good driver quality mirror. The cables seem to move the mirror alright. I haven't tried cleaning it up but it does have a few pits and scuffing, but it's hard to show in pictures.

 I'm adding pictures and if anyone wants better or more pictures I'll try.

 I'm asking $40 plus shipping.
