Maybe I should add a fan? My car didn't have one with the original engine and cooler so I didn't put one in with the replacement.
For the record, regardless of ambient, I have never seen the gauge move above this point. It warms up to this and doesn't get any closer to the red.
I found my sender. I'm going to order a new on since the one in the engine is most likely for the early gauge. I also found that my fan belt is a bit loose so I'm going to re tighten the belt and drive it today. I suspect the sending unit is going to be the problem because the car ran this temp last summer and fall when the belt was first installed and tight.
Belt is tightened, waiting for fog to lift to go for a drive then I'm going to check lines to the cooler to see that they are getting warm.
Again, I really appreciate all the input.
