My engine temp gauge only reads cold and hot. My needle stays at about a 1/4 in. away or less from the indicated "HOT". I run a 180 deg. stat., is this normal?What temp would this be if the gauge was numbered?

Anyone know where I can get a new oil pressure relief valve plunger and spring for a 218?Mine has a few scores on it and I am figuring that the spring is weak being 58 years old.

I finally got around to playing with the choke yesterday.The reason for the stumbles is indeed the choke, when it starts the choke was not fully closing so I closed it by hand and the car runs smooth when cold.I tried to adjust it but did not seem to help.I will try to play around with it some more today.

I have an automatic choke.
-
How is the choke adjusted? On start up should the choke be fully closed?

When I start the 218 it stumbles and I have to give it a little gas to keep it running.Once it is warmed up it runs and idles great.Where do I start?

I know this has been talked about but I never really got a sure answer.Is lead additive needed in a P-20.When I bought the car the guy told me that he did not use lead and when I rebuilt the engine most of the rings were broken but the valves looked good.Would the broken rings be caused by not using lead?

I dont think there is enough of the shaft to grab and turn.Based on what I described does it sound like it is open or closed? If it is closed (no heat to intake) can I leave it like this ?
