While waiting for the thermostats to arrive, maybe remove the stock temperature sensor and submerge it in boiling water with its wiring still connected in order to see where 211 degrees is on the needle of the original dash gauge?
thanks, i will have to try this
Can also check the new and old thermostats this way
I put my new stat in pot of water with baking thermometer and checked the real temp it opened then I installed it in the engine and left radiator cap off. Warmed up engine and watched radiator and when thermostat opened checked gauge and knew what the real temp was and where it read on the gauge.
