Pinto engine temperature...
My Acewell has a digital temperature display and on my way to the SVA on Monday it read 77oC in normal driving and got up to 94oC stuck in the
stop/start M60 commuter traffic. Can somebody tell me what their Pinto temperatures are reading during normal driving and what temperature I should
set the max temp warning light at to avoid an engine melt down - it got a bit toasty under the bonnet at 94oC!!!

Whippy he telleth the wisdom
Temperature in traffic totally depends on your electric fan cut in and drop out in temperatures ---- provided the fan is big enough for the
job.
94 sounds about right --- in a radiator the coolant boils at about 115 to 122 c depending on the radiator cap pressure.
As long as the coolant dosen't boil all is well.
