Had the car out tonight and was running in 70-75 degree clear night time weather. Did some back roads and then a 20 minute highway run at 80mph most of the way. My factory temp gauge works, and it moved up, to just before touching the red area of the gauge. I would say that she stood about 1-2 temp needle's width from the red zone. Now that the warm weather us here, is this normal for a dual-carb 914-4 2.0?
Thanks -Chuck |
