It's the last one of the season and it looks like it's going to rain. But I finally got anchors in position so I can install a lap belt. Three point belts will be installed ultimately.

I'm not expecting anything blistering. It's not quite tuned and it's been running very cold. It doesn't seem to get much above 140, while moving, with things cooling down. It gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter. I don't quite get that. Hopefully I'll be able to idle long enough to get it up to temperature before making a pass. If not I'll just have to limit my fun.

Chas,

       If the gage turns out to be OK, try another thermostat. If it's rated at 180, and if it actually closes below that, you ought to see at least 180 in the head.

Charlie,

          had a simular problem this spring with my truck. After doing a bunch of different things, it ended up being the constant voltage regulator behind the speedo, replaced it and it was very accurate after that comparing it to a borrowed inferred gun I used.  But in your case I don't think its that if your able to put your hands on it without getting burnt. One thing too Steve we used to do in Wisconsin growing up insted of cardboard, we'd just take the fan off all together, just wouldn't let it idle too long!
