Reading temp gauge
Can anyone tell what the temp is on a 69 temp gauge. The far left is 100 degree then there's a small hash mark ( what's that temp ) then at 12 Oclock is 210 degrees. The temp I'm running is between the 100 and the hash mark What that? Thanks, Tony

Thanks for the info. guys. Just wanted a ballpark till I can get an infrared temp gauge. Been a year since the vette ran and I forgot what temp the motor was running at then. Fresh motor and paranoid about everything. Just don't want anything to go wrong. Thanks guys. Tony
