The first mark is 100* F second mark is a line and the third is 220* F. My car runs at the line mark. Any ideas as to what temp this is? Thanks

190-195..

 

that line is halfway if I'm not mistaken. Mine runs around there and mine runs cold, probably closer to 160 - 170. My fan is wired to a switch so when I turn it on I leave it on till it hits that line. Probably not the best method but I got adhd or something.

 

I have a fan switch also and i dont let my engine get to far above that line also. Heat kills new engines. I have a 180* t-stat so when the gauge goes a little above that line my t-stat is almost ready to open and when it does the temp drops back down below that line, then it hovers just a tick above or below that line under normal running condtions. With it being in the 60's and 40's around here I have not had to turn it on yet.

I stick with the stock thermostat because it get's below 0 here, usually around 10 during the winter.
