Recently bought a 9600 Ford and wanted to add a mechanical gauge. Only place to mount bulb is not the best place which is the drain hole for the block. First gauge would not do a thing. Second gauge when heated in a pot of water and checked against a candy thermometer it works fine. Put it on tractor and nothing. Now mind you, I had to come out of block with a 1/4" fitting then bush to 3/8" and then into a tee with bulb on one side and petcock on other. Shows no temp at all until I open petcock and flow some hot fluid through it and then when I stop flow gauge goes back and sits on lowest reading of 130. Put a torch to brass and temp jumps up. I kept thinking it was air so I plumbed it straight out of hole and made sure air was purged and nothing. Open bulb fitting and the temp comes up. Shooting brass fittings showing 160-165 and still nothing. Surely I have not gotten two bad gauges. Any thoughts appreciated.

At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
