8v92 temperature

[Don Bradner]

Observing the VMSpc digital reading, I believe my cutin/outs are 196 and 190,
and on tyical non-stress level driving there is one degree of over/undershoot,
so the temp floats between 189 and 197. I could not possibley say that from the
analog gauge, other than to say the bottom is just below 190, and the top a few
degrees above 190.

With the fan override on the temps run steady dependent on load and ambient.
Under non-stress conditions that is about 180, presumably where the water
thermostat is. I've touched 200 a couple of times, but nothing higher.
