When it comes to the BEST way, to gauge the engine temperature in our flathead V8's, should we rely on Coolant Temperature OR Oil Temperature?
Depending on which you feel is best, how did you come to that opinion & would the 180 degree operating temperature, still apply to each method?
Thanks Men,

You have resurrected a 9 year old thread and 'Wearymicrobe' has not been active here for over 5 years.
But that being said, it is said that the higher 180 deg. water temp. provides better power and economy but I can't prove it.
The standard for Ford was 160 deg. water temp. but what did they know anyway.
