<VV> Temp and Manifold Corsa readings

[FrankCB at aol.com]

Richard,
    When I was driving my 180 regularly, my uncalibrated CHT normally read 
400 deg.F. when cruising on the highway.  Under full load going up loooooong 
hills, it would climb to 450 deg.F.  These gauges, after 40 years, can read 
almost anywhere.  The important thing is that it reads consistently the same under 
the same load conditions, as mine has.  It should also show a temp rise under 
full load for some minutes compared to simply cruising on the open highway 
under light load.

450° warmed up.
Manifold gauge is there for entertainment purposes only.
