Temprature ?

[boaterbob]

I know after you shut a engine down the temp. rises a little before it goes down. My 66 will rise to about 3/4 on the gauge when i restsrat after about 15 min., Then go down to normal in a couple of min.. Is this considered normal? I used to operate diesel trucks and they claimed they should be idled for 3 min. before shut down so this woudn't happen.

Sounds normal to me.

Mine doesn't quite jump to 3/4 in that situation, but definitely goes up over the 1/2 way mark.

Had something like that problem in my 64 and my oil and fuel gauges werent acting quite right either, turned out to be the constant voltage regulater for the gauges
