Coolant Temps
#5
I have a mechanical gauge tapped into my waterpump on my 90 NA.
At 160 degrees my factory gauge is about a needl shy of half gauge (a touch low)
170 - 200 stays pretty much right in the middle
210 is about 3/4 up the stock gauge.
220 - 225 is just touching red zone.
The factory gauge obviously does not read linear, I was suprised at the ranges when I first installed the mechanical gauge.
Maybe a little off topic but might be usefull to someone.
