how hot is a 400 engine supposed to get?

Posted by Bryce Andreasen (Magnum) on April 22, 2003 at 20:00:39 from (209.74.224.42):

in regards to my other message, i bought a kit of lit up guages that are lit up when headlights are turned on (looked fancy so i bought them and was cheap) the coolant is messured in degrees. when i pulled the harrow, up and over farmable terraces, it reached a little over 200, is it bad or not? I need to know about the MAX temp. on a hot day. I may have to do haying with it or load round bales. and also, i put a $48 delco remmy alternator on it when i converted to 12v, and when i got done harrowing, it wouldn't start, i heard a click, but after about two hours, it could start. Would the alternator (with no internal regulator) put so much juice into the battery that the celenoid got hot to where it wouldnt work? just a thaught
