Operating Temperature...
What is the normal operating temperature range for an 88 NA? And what temperature is considered "HOT?" I need some numbers please. Thanks.

Normal temps would be 180 degrees F on the low side and no more than 220 for extremely hot conditions. The first place to look for a hot running engine are the cores of the oil cooler, radiator and A/C condensor. These will plug up with bugs and other road debris and reduce the airflow through them.
