Temperature gage
I put a new 195* thermast in 74 with a 351M a 3 core radator and fan shroud and a 7 blade fan not a clutch fan. Timing is right on the money. The carb is jeted right. The temp. gage says strate up, How hot is it? With my son truck it said a bout 1/4 up on the gage. This use to be my truck. And with all this in it.

At operating temp, my guage is always straight up. It's a '73 390 with 195* t-stat and new 3 core rad - never have overheating problems. As stated, if you are in doubt, check water temp with thermometer - a local shop will check it cheap.
Are the other guages reading high too?
