Default ENGINE TEMP ?

When I look at my temp gauge c[NORMAL]h where would the needle be pointing when the engine is getting hot? Where should it be pointing when the car isat a safe temp? Thanks alot for any feedback.

So its hot when it hits the red H...... Right?
My g/f's 94 gt would get to the M and A in NORMAL and I was wondering if that was still safe or if that is considered hot

mine runs right before the top of the gauge to the left...

i dont think the 94 gt should run that hot... unless the gauge was bad or the thermostat is sticking...

you need to make sure your low speed fan is kicking in you can probably hear the high speed kick in when it gets to about the Lor on theA thats at about 225 degreesturn on your air conditioning to make sure high is working and when you get to the R see if the low speed is on if its not you need fix that my low speed quit workingso i tapped into the highspeed wire and ran it to a switch if you do that make sure you use like 10 guage wire its a high circuit so i can turn the switch on and cool it down also u can turn it on anytime so if ur racing u can leave it on and cool down your engine quicker u can also put a 180 degree thermostat in and that way if u have to use the switch design to keep it cool if u forget to turn it on u have a lot more time due to saving 15 degrees for the stock it doesnt sound like a lot in temp but it is the 180 degree will show the needle on the O hope this helps
