It will cool better, with 20%, just check it before winter storage.
My gauge said 220 at first ( stock CR 8.2), E head, and 468XE cam, RA exhaust)
I got an old original from a junk yard and it runs at first mark with a 160 T stat.
temp at T stat housing runs 175-180 ( IR)
So on this half sweep factory gauge, anyone have the number for the first line?, or what it was intended to be,( besides a ball park) has to me more than half or 155 degrees ?

EDIT, I have 1970 Gauges in my car
