Hi Martyn, Best to wire up your temperature gauge, not sure on the normal running temperature of a ford flathead engine, google it and find out. Was it a sunny day?. What you will find that sheet steel will get very hot in the sun regardless if the engine is running or not. I sat my carrier at a show all day in the sun and couldnt bear my hand on the engine cover at going home time.
