Re: Running hot

My 1955 Four Hundred seems to have just the opposite problem. I've run it quite a few times and the hottest that the temperature gauge showed was about 1/8th inch above C. At first, when I was just test-driving it around the neighbourhood for short periods of time, I thought either the gauge or sending unit was faulty. However, I then took it on an extended drive across town on a warm day and viola! the temperature gauge moved about 1/8 inch from C, but still nowhere near to hot. Still, the engine was pretty warm and the radiator was pretty hot to the touch.
Go figure.
