I have a 1978 F-32 with Chrysler 360's at 250 hp each. Fresh water cooled. The most I can get the temperature up to on the gauges is 110 F.

I replaced the thermostats with 160 degree new OEM ones and this still has no effect on the temperature. I measured the exhaust temps with a thermometer to check the accuracy of the gauges.

What temps do other F-32 owners see on theirs? Any help on why I can't get the engines to run at 160 degrees?

they prob are

The proba are up to temp ... the guages are probably shot.

Get an Infrared temp gun - < $40 on eBay new ... this and a good Volt-Ohm-Mter are invaluable!
