Starting a BB Duster project

The CTS is mounted in the water pump housing and I've confirmed that it is reading correctly. I think the thermostat is stuck open. I'll install a new one and try that. The good news is that it stays cool. I was working on a Willys the other day that pegged the temp gauge while I was tuning the EFI system and that was on a 40 degree day! I had a big winter coat on trying to stay warm while I was adjusting the tables and when I looked at the gauge the engine was 220 degrees. And it was just idling.
