What is the optimal temperature for a TR3? Gauge has center point at 185
degrees.
Thanks
In thirteen years of driving my TR2 I have noticed that it depends on the
ambient temperature. If in the sixties the gauge needle reads well below
the "1" as in "185". If in the seventies gauge needle covers the 1, if in
the eighties gauge needle covers the 8, if in the nineties gauge needle
covers the 5. These readings are Interstate or cruising for a hour or more.
In crawling, heavy traffic the gauge might leave the 5 but not by much.
Must add that the radiator is flushed and fluid is changed every spring.
Also note that below the sixties, the 2 and I refuse to venture from the
garage!
