[Shotimes] normal operating water temps

[DTNesbit@FTC-I.net]

It depends somewhat on the outside (ambient) temperature.  Mine runs from
200 to 206.  If the weather is colder like it is now (37 F) it runs around
198.  By the way I have my auxially gauge connected on the firewall side of
the engine.  There is a plug there that is easily usable.  That way I don't
have to do anything to the stock gauges.  In town in stop and go traffic in
summer it may go as high as 220.  I have digital gauges by Intelitronix (
got them from Summit).  I think they blend it with the SHO "look" better
than mechanical, but I guess it is a matter of preference.  My son has
mechanical Autometer gauges from Summit and they seem to read about the
same.
