Temp gauge/overheating 120-130 1965

Totally agree, my carbs finally seal so nicely I can set the idle very low. I like the sound of the engine idling at 500-600, and as my alt can handle it usually keep it there unless it is hot out....hence the choke cable idle adjustment as required. It is not just an esthetics issue either...I figure the low idle saves gas in stop and go traffic, intersections etc...
