Title: Temperature gauge
Post by: 77tonner on June 06, 2006, 05:15:00 pm

Anyone have a rough idea of what the lines on the factory temperature gauge correspond to in degrees?  I'm not sure how much the gauges changed during the year, but this would be for a 77 Scottsdale C30.

Thank you in advance.

This is going off memory, but should be about 160 - 260.

Middle is 210 degrees, far right is 260 degrees.  I would go from there.

On my 91, it goes 100 then another line (155) then 210 then another line (235) then 260 red.

The 155 and 235 aren't really listed, just did a little math in b/w the other numbers.

I know on my 79, there are no numbers, just the lines. C - H red.
