- The electric fan is designed to come on around the 3/4 mark on the guage. Here in the hot Louisiana summers, it is common for the cars temp to vary between 1/2 and 3/4. As long as the fan comes on ap

- If you look right at the edge of the gauge near the chrome ring you should see two little white dots part way between N and the red. The fan should cut in by the dot nearer to the red and cut out aga

- Dear Paul and others with "hot" cars: I ran over to Palm Springs CA the other day with my '70 MGB-GT during a "hot" ~38 C day there. My temp gauge also hovered about 3/4 of the way while I was on the

- That *is* hot for running. Last year the V8 sat in very slow moving traffic on the hottest day of the year here (not 38, but 30+) with the fan on override and the needle in the red, but still gradual
