Well we took the '66 out for the 1st long drive of the season this weekend. I just wanted some opinions based on the gauge readings. For one thing, the RPM seems a little high to me...
Here are the specs:
1966 Beetle
1600cc
Dual 34 ICT's
019 Distributor with pertronixs
4.37 Ring & pinion tranny
165/70R15 tires (Is that stock size or close to it?)
What the gauges read today:
Ambient outside temperature: 22c
Speed: 100kph
RPM: 3400
Cylinder head temp: 370F (That seems high to me)
Oil temperature: 190F
Oil pressure: 35PSI
Sustained speed of 100KPH for about an hour there & an hour back. Does everything seem to be reading within the correct ranges? CHT & RPM both seem high to me.
