I apologize for the glare but thought someone might be interested in the photo of the temperature indicator in my 245. We had been on the road for several hours when the indicator started its normal fluctuation from below normal to red hot. The mechanical temperature gauge maintained 160 throughout (probably 20F cooler because I put it in the top of the aluminum head). It is certainly nice not to have to pull over and check the radiator hose for pressure every thirty miles or so. Piece of mind for under $50.00 total cost.

The instrument cluster is from another vehicle so the mileage is off about 70k miles. Notice the rock steady factory oil pressure on the lower gauge!
