mechanical temp gauges?
I just tested my t-stat in a pan on the stove with a microprocesser thermometer,it started opening before 180*(it's a mr. Gasket high flow 180*) and was open completely at 180*.put it in the car the water in the radiator did not start to flow till the temp was near 195*.I'm thinking part of my ,running hot problem is the temp gauge(auto-meter electrical water temp gauge)is not correct anyone have this problem.
I have a auto-meter mechanical water temp gauge coming tomorrow. People on this board have told me that with the set up I now have I should not have ,running hot problems, it has not overheated yet ( I haven't been out of the driveway yet,just idling,).Don't want to go to the track till I'm convinced that it will not overheat. How is the install with the mechanicl temp gauge? -------------------- 67 cuda 3300 #'s with me,stock bore 383 9.6:1 ,906 2.14,1.81 valves lightly ported,CPPA 1 3/4 tube headers.

The gauge will / should come with the instructions, but you will run a capillary line from the engine back to the gauge, be sure and not kink the tube
