- In the heat of the summer, the temp gauge on my '72 hangs out about 1/2 way between N & H, and occasionally nudges up a bit higher when stuck in traffic. I stopped worrying about it. It runs better t

- but Well my 1970 GT sits just a teensy bit below N in 35+ degree (Celcius) weather. 100+ F. Every other modern car I've owned no matter what brand seems to do the same and I've owned a BMW, Mitsubis

- Well for me, I have absolutely no idea (in degrees C or F) what temperature my engine should or should not run at. I have always taken my guage markings to mean (N)ormal and (H)igh or (H)ot. These ma

- On the topic of temp gauges I have never trusted mine either, you just get a feel for where it likes to be. In my '71, the engine is warm once the needle is 1/4 the way between C and N and the radiat

- You do have some control over the electric temp guages! When I first got the 70B it's temp guage was like your 71. Take the guage out of the dash and look at the back of it, there are two holes. Ins

- Larry: I still have the electric fan on, and after a few days of city driving in the 95+ heat and 90%+ humidity, I have decided to keep it. The mechanical temp guage never passes 210 (F) while drivin

- I have to agree with (N)ormal and (H)ot. My 69 B would get over between the N & H in hot weather stop/go traffic. Since I didn't know actual temp, I bought a candy baking thermomoter and opened the R
