My 1959 Edsel seems to be running a bit cold (all the time) 

I have a Champion 3 row in it, a 7lb cap, 50/50 and a 195 thermostat.

Even the stock gauge never went much up to the middle and the S/W shows it average under 200.  I have milky condensation on the insides of the valve covers (which are aluminum) the oil out of the pan is normal though.

Any thoughts?
