Default Re: Where does your 53 Ford run?

Drove the car in today. The picture is the temp driving in this morning with outside temps in the 70s. When I got off outside temps were mid 90s. I drove to my parents to pick my son up and I checked the heads with a IR gun. Both were over 200. The thermostat housing on the driver side was over 200 but the passenger side thermostat housing was 180s right at 190. Drove the rest of the way home pulled up in my shop and checked again. Now once stopped the tempt begin to creep up past the tick mark. Both heads were reading around 220 anywhere on the head. But the gauge wasn't into the H yet and the car was still running. However when I shut the car off it pegs out into the H on the gauge. My trip is only about 10 miles. It would seem a deeper look into things may be necessary.
