ZR-1 Net Registry Forums - View Single Post - T-stat question

The temperature gauges are very non-linear. The 90 only had values at the end point while later cars had additional divisions and values. The mid-point of the needle travel on your 90 does not equal halfway between the 100 and 260 values on the gauge. The mid-point on the oil temperature gauge equals 220 deg and the mid-point on the water temperature gauge equals 210 deg. "The Legend" magazine from the ZR-1 registry had an article that included a table and diagram showing the actual values. I copied the table/diagram and keep a copy in my console as a reference. I have seen the same table on the internet but I don't remember where, I thought it was on this site but I couldn't find it recently.
