Default Re: Water temp?

140 was what I got before installing a thermostat. We did an investigation regarding operating temperatures needed for optimum fuel burn and that is 160 degrees. Remember when the Model A came out the fuel did not have all the additives etc. we have now so you need to have your engine matching what is being used not what it was originally designed for because those fuels are no long available.
