Depends on a lot of things, including what thermostat you've installed.
Where does yours ride when driving at speed in moderate weather?

On my early TR4 gauge (mounted in a TR3), the mark is just about 220F. My
preference would be for the fan to come on slightly before that point, say
210F. That way it will still come on before the coolant boils, even if the
system won't hold pressure for some reason.
