Hi all,
Was driving around first time. The center console gauge that says temp just comes up to the first white line. Doesn't seem to move past that at all when driving for 1/2 hour or so. Is this normal ? And if not. How do I get it to work or function properly for what it's there for? Talking 1973 dual carbs, 2056 Thanks!!! Attached image(s) ![]() |

Maybe try an infrared gun pointed at the sump?
Or pull the sender and drop it into boiling water |

Maybe try an infrared gun pointed at the sump? Or pull the sender and drop it into boiling water ? To further explain what I believe @930cabman is telling you: You can use a digital infrared thermometer to check temperature at the sump where the temperature sensor is located. Here's an example of one: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-Tools-Inf...1-IR1/313516785 These are also useful for a number of other things, such as checking for uniform brake temperature, checking for heat loss in your home heating ducts, etc... You can pull the sensor and drop it in boiling water to see what the gauge reads. Depending upon the altitude it should read 212 degrees fahrenheit/100 degrees celsius. This thread should help you with checking the thermostat bellows: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=350498 |
