I'll check and post them shortly but off the top of my head 227 F (108 C) is about the maximum "normal" temp for a C4.

SC:
i just looked at the manual in my 89 and it says that at 124 degrees the over heat light will come on
they say that normal opperation is between 88 and 123 degrees
page 2c-6 of the owners manual

Cameron 77C3:
I assume these numbers are in 'C' Steve?

SC:
yes they are

Chromie:
As a general rule of thumb;42
once you go over 200 degrees F;38
If your radiator hoses are poor or anything else for that matter, the amount of pressure in the cooling system can cause something to fail, usually a blown radiator hose or heater hose.;50 Next would be the radiator tank or core;27
Always make sure that your radiator and headter hoses are not oil soaked, hard, or showing signs of age cracks or swelling, and that your coolant is clean.:}
