Running Hot?
Now I can drive my old 1950 F1. However I noticed that the temperature gauge needle moves half-way between cold and hot. It has plenty of anti-freeze. Is this normal for this model?

Joker, I can't answer your question, but I have a suggestion. go to your local parts store and buy a small temp gun, they are CHEAP. Follow the directions and point it at the top radiator tank where the hose inlet is. Then you will know what the real temp is, and you'll know what that spot on the gauge really means. With that info there will be lots of opinions on what is should be. IF you have a problem the gun will really help identify it. You can check the temp at the bottom of the radiator to measure it's cooling ability, check one head against the other, etc. etc.
