I know this isnt Grand National related, kinda. but im gonna give it a shot and hopefully someone can gimme some help.

I have a 1987 suzuki samurai with a 1981 chevy camaro 3.8 V6, and an 87 grand national transmission. The temperature guage didnt work in the samurai so i hooked up a cheap guage, the guage works fine and everything, im just wondering what temperature is normal operating temperature, and what temperature is hot for this 3.8 V6?
Thanks
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on the thermo installed usually 10-20 degrees hotter. Install a trans cooler this helps
to reduce temp by 10-20 degrees.
