Thanks for mentioning the article, Jay. I'll see if I can't pick up a
copy. It should still be on the newsstand I'd think. There are often very
good articles in some of the mainstream car mags, especially those
focusing on modified cars and trucks. I've also got to start scanning and
storing this sort of info digitally. I don't about the rest of you, but
I'm rapidly running out of storage space, and a CD with 650 to 700 megs
on it is much easier to lug around than the several large boxes of
magazines one CD can take the place of.
As far as the 170 to 185 range on the temp sensor, I'd say it's fine for
the cars we're playing with. Newer cars are designed to run at a bit
higher average temp, but 185 should be fine for a roadster.
FWIW, Ron
