Hey guys, I was wondering what are the actual temperatures as related to the stock gauge on a 86 mustang 5.0.
My gauge goes ( "C"/NORMAL/"H"). On really hot days on the highway (running 4.10's) it gets up to the first part of the A. Not too worried but would like to know the corresponding temp is. Thanks.

I believe they are 140 to 270 with about 25 degrees between marks
