i did a lot of research in the web and the forum, but did not come to a real conclusion, yet!
so, what is the right operating temperature for a 383 engine??
and what' the min & max to run this thing?
even after changing radiator, water pump, 180°f stat, radiator cap with 16psi and checked all hoses and installed a shroud to the 22" rad, the bee runs on a 78°f day at 205°f during city cruise.
have autometer instruments.
the original gauge has the "normal" space from 170° to 230° - so, is 200° optimal?
i don't know what's right or wrong - ask 10 people, get 10 answers.
