Okay with average street driving around town with a little hwy driving...How long should it take for the oil to reach normal operating temp? I drive for 20 mins and it doesn't seem to come off 120F?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
I figure 220F is normal. Cheers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) Kerry |

I had a similar problem in my 74 2.0. Are you using the upgraded (slightly smaller, numbered) VDO gauge in the center console?
When I installed mine, I was getting some power to the gauge/sender, but the gauge just didn't work. I bought a second new gauge/sender set - same problem. But the OLD guage worked! I played with this FOREVER until I started looking at the connector on the new gauge. The wire positions aren't the same on the new gauge. The connector will fit, but wires are in the wrong place. I pulled the old connector apart, put the wires right on the temp gauge - voila! Hope this helps, Rusty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smoke.gif) |
