I had my 60 TR3A out for a short run around the neighborhood this 
morning and when I got it up to temp I brought it back to the garage 
and measured the temp using a small pocket thermometer inserted in 
the refill neck, which is about 5 inches behind the radiator and 
about 10 inches from the water temp pickup, but I would guess it to 
be slightly cooler.

I have a metric gauge scaled at 30C, 85C,       98C (no number, just a 
tic), & 110C. The temperature pick up looks new (i.e., very clean & 
shinny)

I did a check on my pocket thermometer, it read 32F in icy water and 
202F in a cup of water that had just stopped boiling.

At      90C on the gauge on the dash, I measured 152F in the filler neck 
, est. 160F

At  85C on the gauge on the dash, I measured 141F in the filler neck 
, est. 148F
