79 2F
Running with the choke pulled out some to increase RPM
Temp gauge stays JUST over nothing
Upper radiator hose, after 10 minutes, is still not too hot to hold onto, neither is top of radiator.

I know there is no load on the engine.

Does this sound normal? My FJ60 gets "up to temp" at idle after about that much time.
 
I pulled it out and it was closed, put it in boiled water and it opened, then closed when cool. Maybe it is just opening way too early? It is an 82C stat...
 
I think I have a new Toyota one here... what temp marking should I look for for a 79 2F?

Toyota part #'s for Thermostat

There is a production date split , so check your drivers side door Jamb "A" pillar DATA ID plate for confirmation
