Default Re: No more gallivanting - temp question

[QUOTE=Will D;1912174]Just a little unnerving as the stock gauge ends at 212. It ends up being a smidge from max.[/QUO
IF it helps you any....here in north Florida where its pretty much 90+ every day here in the summer and upper 70's to low 80's at night.....My 39 Merc doesn't have number values attached to the temperature gauge BUT by my posted picture to the left MINE runs right around the notch between "normal" and "Hot". Last evening it was about 81 (it rained and cooled things down) so I was driving it around last night and it was running a little low of the "center" notch. Sitting waiting at "long" traffic lights it would creep up to touching the "center" notch. ON real hot days it runs on the "center" notch and at long lights just "above" the center notch of "N' & "H".
