Bob, that seems terribly hot to me.  My BT7 often runs around 170 in =
regular summer weather but even on the hottest days never goes above =
185.  No electric fan =E2=80=93 just a bog standard cooling system, =
which is sufficient up here in Ontario.

Subject: [Healeys] Installing a rebuilt speedo

So over the summer I had the speedo rebuilt by Nisongers. It looks brand =
new and works.  First time in 15 years I have a speedo.  Although my =
algorithm of add 15 mph to the tack number gets you the approximate =
speed in 3rd gear over drive.  I am now trying to install the speedo =
permanently into the dash and having problems remembering the wiring.  =
As there are 2 wires with a circular ground connection, I should attach =
one to each holding spade? Has anyone got a picture or sketch of the =
back of the dash?

=20

Also, I am trying to install Led lights. Which should I order from Moss? =
 The short ones? =20

=20

Also, when ordering some parts from British Car Specialists I was =
speaking with John and mentioned my overheating problems.  Besides the =
normal suggestions, He mentioned the radiator cap has to be for a long =
neck British radiator.  I when to my car and the radiator cap was a =
standard USA Stant, so I ordered the one he suggested.  Yes, it is =
=C2=BC inch longer than the stant and put it on the radiator and when =
for my 25 mile drive on Tamiami Trail and back.  The water gauge went =
right up to 212 and then to 230, but, settled down to 212 for the rest =
of the trip without operating the electric fan.  While driving at 30-40 =
through my neighborhood home with the fan on the temperature stayed a =
little over 212 degrees.  Hopefully, this temperature range with =
continue as I slowly get my Healey operating well enough for longer =
trips.
