Trip to the boneyard results...

Nice condition dashpad, new plastic dash guage cover, and new pioneer speakers - $40

I haven't cleaned anything yet, so don't mind the mess... I'll post more tomorrow, after I get it all cleaned!

LOL, no, it just does that when it sits. I'm running a 180º thermo, and it stays there, unless I'm sitting in traffic. Then it goes aaaalllll the way to 222º before the damn fan kicks in. I REALLY need some sort of a fan switch, to turn on at say... 190ºish and off at 165ºish. Any suggestions?

New one... when I get it all cleaned and such, I'll snap another pic, and one of my old pad. I think you guys will agree there is a HUGE diff

And yeah, 115 speedo. PEGGED. Pulls to 4k in 5th, and that's all she wrote. Figured around 120mph. Can't wait to get a ram air setup into her, with some other planned mods! After I get my aldl/rs232 setup done, though.

You'd think that it would be simple to make a small device that hooks in with the thermostat ect. that kicks the fan in early....
