Its only three wires?
You shoud have a positive with ignition (red wire, could be yellow)
a ground (black)
and a signal (blue)
thats still high... mine never saw over 200 on the hottest days! Usually ran right at 180 - 190
unless your using the stock 192* t-stat
try an new housing and get a 180 thermostat in there. 210 is on the hot side, what happens when you get stuck in traffic?
Might also try the Super Glue trick when putting in the T-stat.
Clean the housing up real nice and make sure it's all dry, then put a dot of Super Glue on either side where the thermostat sits in it (make sure the bleeder valve on the t-stat is toward the top) and let it sit for a minute. This will keep the thermostat from dropping down and getting the edge pinched between the housing and the intake mounting surface. Then slime on some RTV silicone and carefully push your gasket onto the housing, and then let that set up for a little while - this will help the gasket stay in place and not shift around a bunch when you go to stick the housing onto the intake. Then apply your final bead on the other side of the gasket, stick 'er on there, thread in your bolts, cinch it down, fill 'er up, and go watch TV or browse Stangnet for awhile until it all sets up before you go starting it up and driving around.
