I use a VDO Cylinder Head Temperature Guage and bi-metallic sensor under the number three spark plug. Depending on the sensor (which wear out occasionally) the car runs below 350 F most of the time. Rises slightly on grades. Basically I regulate my speed down the highway based on the temperature. In stop and go city driving it stays below 300 F but you can really see it go up and down with starts and stops. I have this on three cars, all stock FI 70-72. I also have a oil temperature gauge (VDO) and sensor that is mounted above the stock oil cooler on my '70 Sqback. So it really is a oil cooler temperature. It hardly ever gets above 100F. Only in stop and go traffic or after I park the car does the temperature go up. It not nearly as informative as the cylinder head sensor, but gives me a sanity check on one another. ------------------------------------- Craig Woolston '70 Sqback and '71 Fastback cwoolsto@ladc.lockheed.com
