i have a 195 thermostat, and the temp gauge never goes past the first line (summer and winter). i can actually see when the thermostat opens cuz the needle will drop, but picks back up to the first line, never past. is this normal? should it run warmer? my heater, aftermarket summit brand, blows nice warm air, and gets the cab warm very quickly.
what's the normal operating temp for a sbc350?
