Well, I was successful in tapping the head and installing the temp gauge plus put the new thermostat back in and fired her up. Everything runs fine but the temp just barely gets off the 130 mark. The gauge starts at 130 so maybe increments are not small enough. Any suggestions? I guess the main thing is that I can now see if she starts getting too hot. Did a test drive today and everything checked out. Guess I am ready to go! I have retrieved a lot of info from this forum over the last couple of months. Thanks to all.

I have not ran my N in hot weather with a thermostate yet. I have one in it now. It will get to 160 in 4 to 5 min. and then go down to 140 are so and stablize their. I guess what you are looking for is it to get up to temperture in about five min. and then stabilize. As warmer weather comes around you will see it run in the 160 range. Feel the top radiator hose befor and after the thermostate and you will feel the differance as it warms up. You will also be able to tell when the thermo. opens up. Its to late now but I would have got one that started at 100 deg. I got a sunpro grauge at advance auto for 14.99 # CP7954 that works great. i installed it were the amp gauge was and relocated the amp gauge. Also added a oil light. I am not a big fan of gauges. I like idiot lights. Just remember with out a thermo it will take it forever to get to 130 and with one about five min.
