The antifreeze checks O.K. to about -40F, but that was a good thought. And you're right, Jim, about the radiator cap -- but I don't have a convenient way to measure what pressure it will hold (auto parts store, maybe?).
Just for fun I decided to check the [gasp!] operator's manual for my 300 Utility (close enough to a 350, I figure). It says the gauge should normally be "on the low side of the 'RUN' range". In other words, anything to the right of vertical is too hot.
So there we have it -- the gauge face really should have been designed so the entire right side (from vertical to the high limit) reads "HOT"; then it would agree with the operator's manual. And my needle would have been a good third of the way into the "HOT" area.
I'll probably just keep the gauge and live with the anomaly. Sometimes it's the little quirks that keep things interesting.
