Just dropped in the Napa sending unit today. In taking temp readings now, the Napa unit is spot on with what J.R. posted. I ran the engine and let it idle up to normal temp for a good 20 minutes. The highest the gauge showed was now just slightly above halfway between the quarter and half marks. My readings right at the sending unit on the manifold was about 201-202 degrees.
Now that it's a little more accurate I will have to watch the gauge very closely to see if it's running too hot. Based on the feedback, if this gauge now gets up around the 3/4 mark, I may be in trouble (~240 degrees)?
Thanks again!
