Normal running temperature
That'll do. I'm going inside because it's like a furnace in there.

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
I now have a working heater! The valve operates correctly too, dialing it to hot makes it hot.
One more thing off the list.

Redo brakes (shoes, pistons, flexi lines)
Repair glass in doors
Thermostat
Manifold gaskets
Screen defrost pipe
Parcel shelf carpet
That's pretty much it

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
Not quite, but the end is certainly nearer.
Oh, I need to set the tappets properly too, right now they're set approximately.
I also need to relocate the battery to the trunk

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
Just ordered the correct thermostat for it. Typically it doesn't take a regular one, it's a specialized deal. Go figure.
