Author: Sage <ssage@socal.rr.com>

Tiger Fans: The octane discussion is very interesting. I don't know about the rest of you, but I've often noticed the Tiger seemed noticably quicker, or slower, from one tank of gas to the next, depe

With my "new" 302 heads installed on the 289, I noticed the Tiger cooling was not working properly. In cool weather, water temp got too warm at higher speeds, cooled back down (but not as low as it

Hello Sunbeamers: I've got a new, kind of weird problem. When the Tiger is started dead cold, the water temperature quickly sometimes goes waaay up (230-240). No warm air from the heater at all while

Ron: The temp sender is on the intake manifold (Tiger). The thermostat is a 160 degree piece. I'm not sure how or why an air bubble would just set itself under the temp sender though. Steve
