I have a 64 Malibu SS, 327(250hp),PG, with Vintage Air.
I just rebuilt the engine (stock components). However, it was punched 60 over. I'm running a 180 thermostat, fan clutch and 18" fan.
The guage reads about 80% toward HOT. A meat thermometer records the temp at 180 without air running. With air, the guage runs up to just under HOT. I haven't found a fan shroud yet that works.
My question: Can I calibrate the guage to move the 'normal' reading down the scale so I have more room for the warmer temperature before it reads HOT? Where can I get instructions to do so?
