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) |

Could it be that the thermostat bellows part is missing and that the air flaps are always open and that is why that gauge is not working? It's not hooked up to anything?

Replace the thermostat bellows, cable, etc, if that is missing. Missing thermostat and flaps that are always open are not good for the engine. They will extend warm up time significantly especially in cold weather. |
