Dear List,
Having seen many differing opinions on the list about the "correct needle
position",  I find very few references to the variety of thermostats. I had
the opportunity to replace a water pump last month ( a ten hour job the
first time, three hours next time), the new 80 degree thermostat turned out
to be a 87 degree thermostat when it arrived. (no big thing, winter is
coming) The needle stays very steady on the right edge of the wonderful red
blinking LED. I suggest this is really 87 degrees. The left of center is 80
degrees. Now if I can just get that front blower to work, i will have heat
when I need it.
