Hi, I was wondering what the normal operating temp was for a early model B (1939) i read that it shouldn't run lower then 190 but mine constantly runs 170, its a Steiner gauge so it might just be inaccurate but i was just wondering what your guys opinions are. Thank you.

170 is fine. It's probably a 160 degree thermostat in it. Problems tend to arise when it gets too hot - not below 190.
