Some of you people flying have water pressure gages.
Where are the gages tapped in and what are you seeing in the
way of pressures?

My engine is a 1986 13B fitted with Racing Beat  2 sheave aluminum pulleys
to
slow the water pump and alternator roughly 20%.
The coolant pressure gage is in front housing on the sparkplugs side and I
have
noted about 10 psi at 5400 rpm at 3500 feet altitude.

Correction: the Racing Beat pulleys will slow the coolant pump and alternator by
15% NOT 20%.
