Thanks Howard, those numbers are helpful!
Another 15 mile test drive tonight, ambient temps about 80. A mix of slow and moderate speeds (25-55), some good hills, and lots of stop and go city driving. The gauge stayed mostly between E and M. After a 5-10 minute stop and engine shut down, the car ran hotter the rest of the way home. About mid to high M.
IR gauge at the thermostat housing at the above hot temp showed about 182 (remember the thermostat is a 160). Near the rear of the block by the sender showed about 191. Driver's lower corner of radiator showed 142 while the passenger lower corner (by the outlet hose) showed 165. Perhaps the radiator needs some work?
Everything else on the car did great. I have some drips on the garage floor that I need to look into. One looks like oil, and other looks like PS fluid.
