[QUOTE="mcgovern61, post: 59294, member: 59"] "SURVEY SAYS".......I rechecked my '83 engine with my infrared gun and the fan comes on at 206* every time and goes off at 189*. The temp gauge dead center (needle straight up and down) is 198*. A couple clicks past center is 206* and the fan and thermostat are operating at the same time. When the t-stat opens, the temp at the outlet (and the location of the temp sender) is 205* and drops to 202* in about 3 seconds. As the t-stat opens the temp goes to 206* and the fan comes on every time! At the inlet to the water pump, when the gauge is at more than half just before the t-stat opens, the water is 189*. As the t-stat opens, it takes about 6 seconds for the water to reach 195* at the inlet. With the fan on, the water temp drops to 184* as the water at the t-stat reaches 189* and the fan stops. Love a good working coolant system! :Egyptian: It would be my guess that the maximum performance of the engine is engineered at that 202* mark. So Joel, a little past center on the gauge is when the fan comes on and it is 206*! [/QUOTE]
