I would like to know the temp readings for each of the markings on the temp gauge of my 52 Vic. In other words, the markings between C and H. Thanks,as always, for your input!

Cold, medium cold, medium, medium hot, hot.

Funny.
Never heard of any temperature being assigned to any makings on the gage.
If it imperative that you know the temperature at those points then hook up a mechanical gage and use it to record and transfer those readings at each mark to the original gage.

Or use an IR Heat Gun and check at the neck on the heads. Don't believe the marks have any numeric value assigned to them.

Thank you guys! That's all I need to know! Just thought there should be a numerical value attached to those primitive markings.
