i was drivin home the other night from a 1 1/2 hr drive and noticed the temp. rose just above the half way mark so naturally I was a bit concerned. can someone give me an idea of what temp. it should be running at. if the lowest marking is 40 degrees and the highest is 120deg. then the car was running at about 80- 90 deg. is that normal. just being cautious cause it was at night so i thought it should be running cooler. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif

normal running temp should be between 85-95c



mike

Which is where on the guage?

on an 84-85 thats right below the center. i dunno about the 79-83's they are different



mike

Ok ..then im ok..I got friend who says his dont leae the second bar on the temp guage...

mike

Theres a long story behind it ...

i'm not sure i should ask, but does it involve removing thermostats?



mike

Well making a restrictor...and other little mods...I was running T stat when I made the restrictor it ran cooler

hmm, interesting. if you take the tstat out you are supposed to block of the bypass right?
