I don't know if you saw my earlier thread on this subject, but my gauge was reading 120 until I moved the sender to the front (it was in the back) of the intake. Now it gets up to the correct temp, in fact the other night I forgot to turn on the fan when Don was having his transmission problems, and it went to 220 on the gauge.
I'm going to switch out thermostats on mine when I get back home from Billetproof, mine never gets over 150 going down the road, and the electric fan will cool it down from 180 to 150 at a light. Right now I don't want to tear in to it, but I know 150 is too cool.
Living in Florida, this is sort of a blessing, having a too efficient cooling system, but I know it needs to get around 180 for the sake of the motor and complete combustion.

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
