Hi George.
Thanks for your advice.

I have a 7 lbs pressure cap. I put a non bellows 180°thermostat back in.

Yes, I know the gauge is an indicator only. No graduations for reference. I just thought maybe it should read somewhere in the center when at normal operating temperature instead or reading at the low end.

After re reading my manual, I guess anywhere but at the hot end of the scale is OK, provided I know that the engine and cooling systems are functioning properly. F

When God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work�this is a gift of God. He seldom reflects on the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with gladness of heart. Ecclesiastes 5:19-20
