Is My Coolant Temperature OK ?

Old Fogey UK

I went out yesterday for my first post winter drive in my '34 Hudson 8.

I have just fitted a temperature gauge and looking at it yesterday (air temperature about 48F - 50F) after a 20 mile run the gauge was registering a tiny bit under 150F.

Is this normal or is it time to use Thermocure ?

The only Hudson I drive that has a true temp gauge is my 29. It’s happiest around 160. So at 150 I would think your good.

Can you actually go 20 miles, I thought you would run out of land first! We have a similar problem here if we want to go more than 150 miles east/west we end up in the sea.

I can do it by driving around in circles, Geoff ! 😄

Thanks, Paul, that's reassuring.
