22R temp question...
Okay so my original temp gauge is stuck in the middle so I added an aftermarket temp gauge which reads in the thermostat housing right before where the thermostat sits.. So my question is it was running past 230 degrees to me that seems awfully high. I was cruising on the freeway about 60-65mph and it's probably 70degrees out... If anyone could shed some light on normal operating temps. 84 22R...

I agree with ojm3. I would also install a new 180 degree thermostat. Modify the new thermostat by removing the little pin in the plate and drill that hole out to 1/4". This modification reduces temperature overshoot on intial warm up.

I got a 180 from autozone and did a complete system flush and new temp sending unit. I've had no overshoot or temp problems. if you burp your system correctly and fill it entirely overshoot wont happen.
