210 is a little hot. But where is it reading 210 at? In the Radiator, =
at the head? At the inlet?
For an all iron block and heads, (assuming you have iron oval ports) 210 =
won't Kill anything, but you're a little on the hot side for the HP sake =
of things. If...... 210 is coming out of the left cylinder head.

So my 195 thermostat puts me up to a 210 degree coolant running temp. =
what is a 1968 396ss made of? what are the stock heads and block =
metals? I'm told the rods were a pink alloy, forged 4bolt main crank, =
and there's no telling what pistons or bearings have been put in.
is 210 coolant temp OK? will I really be asking for trouble if i =
sustain a particular rpm range above low-load 1000-3000 ?
