Hasn't really gotten hot yet this year, but in a few months you'll be able
to do that in the shade, a bit to the east of me. Right, Geo?
Unfortunately, like everyone else, I start making modifications before
really giving the stock system a chance. The project TR3 was already
missing it's crank hole when I got it, and I'm not about to put it back just
to prove a point. But it remains my belief that the stock system can work
pretty good, if everything is right.
So get that shroud on there, and make sure your radiator cap is holding
pressure.
BTW, on my list of things to check, the project TR3 may have a 4.10 axle or
worse and no overdrive (as yet). Both the speedo and the tach seem to read
really high, and my "calibrated ear" says the tach isn't that far off. We
do drive fast in LA, but I should be pushing redline just to keep up with
traffic!
