that first unlabeled temperature hash mark
I always thought it marked 160. nope, it's 180. I installed an Autometer mechanical guage in the head, left the factory guage in the cast iron intake. Both guages agree at 220 only. We'll see tomorrow how the vac advance distributor I installed tonight helps with idle temps.

There's a reason that first mark in unlabled. The temp sensor they use is extremely non-linear and is only calibrated at 1 temperature.
That first mark is just there for reference don't assume it will mean anything simular on a different car...
