Starting a BB Duster project

After verifying gauge readings as rumblefish360 suggested, I would start wondering about that fan clutch setup. I had several different replacement fan clutches that are way too tight and never loosen up. Fuel mileage went to **** from the extra drag, and they were very noisy from pulling so much air. You may not hear the extra noise on this beast.
I am no expert, but maybe something to consider.
Also, does your EFI use a different coolant temp sensor than your gauge? If so, do they match or agree with similar readings?
At least it’s not running hot. That’s good.
Andy's Duster isn't using the O.E. gauges, it a digital display that reads directly off of the ECM. Still double checking the temp is a good idea, i'd bet the t-stat is opening too early.
