Hello TvT -

I've been busy working on my new 1987 2WD, w/ 187K. Reading these forums is extremely helpful.

From what I've been able to gather the temp gauge should hover around 3/8ths - is this correct?

My temp gauge is slow to move from its resting position below the line. Eventually it will raise to around 1/8 or 1/4 but it really takes some time.

I'm in Texas so that may be a good thing when the 110 deg summer comes, but a little heat in the cabin would be nice right now with the cold front.

I suspect a T-stat problem - the gauge doesn't seem jumpy at all so I don't think there is a loose connection or anything like that. But it would be helpful to know what the normal behavior of the gauge should be.

Thanks
