I think my problem is mostly the big honking cat. that is under the
carbs. I have built a thermometer out of a Radio Shack thermocouple
and a Digital Multi Meter (DMM). I will use this setup to record the
under the hood temperature. Once I have that data I will be swaping
out the cat (and entire exhaust system) with a set of header that I
have sent to Swain to be coated. I will then measure the temps again
and see if it has made much of a difference or I just got hosed. I
will keep the list informed to the results. The cost of the homemade
thermometer was < $5. At least I will have an idea of how much of a
difference it makes. It would be really nice if it removes enough
heat so my wife's feet don't cook.
