Buy a real gauge with numbers on the face.... Thats the ultimate cure.
While you are at it, buy a CHT gauge- Oil temps are just 1/2 of the equation. Oil and head temps are only slightly related. |

I prefer instrments from www.westach.com and matching senders. You can get a combo =dual, triple or quad gauge from them and fit it in the stock location.

Out for a drive today, pushing the car pretty hard. My oil temp hung around 220 going to 230 at times with ait temps around 70. Refreshed 2.0 with new rings, second oil change and dwell/timing correct.
My question is how much does altitude affect the cooling effect of the air. I am at about 4500 feet so I have thinner air than sea level. Would I have lower temps at sea level? |

I'm no physicist (I can spell it though!) so I can't quantify it for you, but higher altitude does affect cooling. Essentially, the thinner air cools less effectively than the dense sea level air. |

This was my thinking as well, and it seems like I have read it here too. I'm wandering (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) what the relationship is between ambient air temp/humidity/altitude and the cooling properties of the 2L type IV motor. |

My 72' car does not have any guages and I really do not want any either. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)
