Ideal Operating Temp
What is considered operating temperature for a 1975 Porsche 911? What temperature should the oil temperature stabilize at?
The car has an 11 blade fan and no thermal reactors
Thanks guys

Thanks iceman, are you in jersey?
I drove it today for an hour, back roads and a little highway, and after about 30 minutes it sat around 195 (i'm guessing, no ticks between 180 and 210) for the rest of the ride. It's going in to have some oil leaks taken care of and then it should be good to go. I've been checking the oil very regularly and its full. I want to make sure I get as much as life as possible out of the engine, considering the nature of the beast.
I have to say, I really love this car. I had a 2005 BMW 330ci before this, and I can't believe I was satisfied with that car. This is just so much more in every possible way.
