<p>The cutting in temp. can be set fairly high. There are thousands
of thermoswitches to choose from. Most have a M22 thread. Best is
to have a T-piece in the top hose or a M22 boss soldered in the
top tank<br>
</p>
<p> In my car the cutting-in temp. is about 98°C. Cutting-out
temp.is about 92°C. This with a 86°C thermostat and the
thermoswitch in the top tank. Normal green coolant, closed cooling
system with expansion bottle and no pressure. In the mountains I
would use a 6psi radiator cap. So the normal running temp is
steady at slightly over 86°C. Idling, in dense traffic or e.g. on
steep hills the temp. will rise until the fan cuts in at 98°C
after which the temp. drops to 92°C. The higher the temp. the
better the cooling because of the delta T.</p>

I have recently installed an electric fan in my BJ8 with an
adjustable controller (moved from Illinois to SW Florida). The
car runs at about 90 degrees but sometimes gets little hotter.
What would be a good temperature at which to set the controller?
I don’t want it running constantly but I don’t want it set so
high that the temp will get away from me and not settle back down
when the electric fan comes on.
