Maybe it is just my guage?
I tried to measure the temp once with the cap off and a meet thermometer. I got some readings to corespond to the temp guage so I knew what the degree temp was for the TEMP marks but that is the water temp in the radiator not the water in the motor.
I also am using a temp sender in the side of my motor. I got one for the top intake area but it read wrong, like way hot all the time. So I think it was calibrated for a differnet temp guage.
I have not let it overheat and boil out in a long long time. The temp guage stys at E in TEMP most of the time. When I stop it goes to M and if it "overheats" it was going over P and I would shut it off and it would drain out the hose and make a puddle and I would let it cool for 30 minutes or more before starting again.
I have it full to the top but have a catch can that recycles (I assume) or at least it catches it now. Have not let it get that hot with the catch can yet.
I definately likes to get hot. Not sure it likes being hot. I always have starting issues when it gets Warm to hot. Maybe not now since I have the new Pertronix in it. But I am afraid to let it get over P and stay there without shutting her down.
RED58, Where does your meter needle go when you idle to 10 minutes or so?
ABMALIBU - I think I hijacked your post....Sorry 'bout that.
