Correct Temperature?
Hi. I suspect my temperage guage is not working properly and I want to hook up an aftermarket guage. Can anyone tell me in degrees, what the normal operating temperature of the 1987 944/NA is. And what temperatures do the marks on the original guage correspond to?
Thanks alot Brett

100 C = boiling at regular atmospheric pressure - ie NOT in the cooling systems of watercooled cars where boiling is quite a few degrees higher.

F = 1.8*C+32
C=(F-32)/1.8 F=C @ -40
