Temp Guage Correlation

Does anyone know the correlation between the color codes for the temp guages from "Antique Guages" AKA the true temp ranges because my OC3 is running around 200 @ the radiator w/ a thermometer and the guage shows it 1/3 in the red?

Thanks Chad

Sounds to me like "Someone" replaced the stock 165 with a readily available 190 from automotive service.

Chad, how hot of a thermostat at you using in your OC3? I really don't know much about the OC3 or any crawlers in specific but Oliver generally used 165 degree thermostats to regulate temp in the block and cooling in the radiator. In general, this is likely the gauge dial would read roughly in the midle of the "work" zone of your gauge. If you're 1/3 in the red now and reading 200 degrees, then it sounds about right. You're running too hot? Maybe your gauge is reading corectly but your thermostat is not working that good or your radiator is slow/clogging to cool fluid.

Anyone else chime in if this doesn't sound logical.

I was just thinking that that sounds plenty warm for something that old especially if it is a non pressure radiator.

Have you tried asking 'Antique Guages'. They may be best placed to answer your question. Are you sure your thermometer is accurate? (a check in melting ice, then in boiling water is OK). Always best to try to sort it out with the supplier before giving them bad feedback on a forum like this.
Maybe the measuring point is not the same as in the specification for the engine. Possibly a 'fudge' to make the dial look the same as the original while using an available guage with a different full range deflection (a guage looking like the original may be favoured by most exhibitors at a show, rather than an absolutely accurate guage which looks out of place).
Regards, RAB
