Ok, so I was FINALLY able to find the correct temperature sending unit for my 1964 300k with 413/w AC. BTW this motor only has 1 port for the sender(which SUCKS). However, I got the new one installed and hooked up a "equus" aftermarket electric temp gage.
I go to crank the car(it hasn't been ran in a week or so, so definitely cold) and it jumps straight to 160-180 degrees according to the gage. After it idles and drives about a quarter mile it hits 240, however it doesn't feel like its overheating.
I take an infrared lazer and the hottest Temps I get at the water pump, radiator, hose. Etc are only like 160-180 while at a straight 8 min idle.
So am I overheating or bad electric gage?
As always thanks guys, I wouldn't be able to build this car without yal!!
