<VV> Oil Temp in the Desert

[PatioMatt at aol.com]

Bob,  as stated many times... these gauges are 40 years old... they  are for 
reference only!   You will have to spend some $$  to have  yours "calibration 
checked"  by a certified  Lab that does  this...
 
The "oil bath"  heater would have to be portable and placed   under your cars 
engine so as to use ALL the wiring, gauge, etc. of your  system.

On a  related note, does anybody have an idea how accurate the head  temp
sensor/gauge is? At 60 MPH, my 180 convertible peaks at about 400 but  at 70
mph it does beyond to an estimated 425. I usually keep it about 60 or  so for
that reason plus it's just more enjoyable to drive at that  speed.
