Operating Temperature

[Owens 40828]

I was wondering what is a good/safe temp. My foxbody has aluminum heads and I have a after market temperature Guage. I run between 180-210. I have a 180 degree thermo and a single electric fan. Controlled by a spal 2 speed fan controller.

I like 190-200. Any colder and I run rich and the computer has a fit. Warmer than 210 and your safety window to get things cooled down drops fast.

Been having an issue with my fan controller forgetting the Temps I have it set for. Thinking about installing a different controller. Since they don't make mine anymore it's hard to get parts to fix it. It just stinks that every couple of days I have to reprogram it for them Temps I want it to come on. The only reason I haven't already changed it is the previous owner put it in and I do t know where and what all the wires go... but I will find out today. A dead fox isn't a good thing

190-200. I'd start getting nervous beyond 210
