Timing. The Cap'n
[/quote]

So are you now telling me that if I get my throttle bodies rebuilt and the timing to stay at a fixed idle my cooling problems will be solved?
[/quote]


Gwen,

timing affects a lot more than idle.
I really don't know MFI at all.. (wish I did) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

but I'd bet that MFI has capacity to adjust idle independent of timing.
perhaps your throttle shafts prevent you from getting a steady idle...

but you should still be able to retard your timing and then readjust your idle independently.

It has been advised that my car's oil temp should be between 180-220.

I've have this set-up on my 3.0. The car was my daily driver. Never runs hot.
Fog light/horn grills mount over the coolers. Plumbing's not purdy...but it works. Vents out through the wheel wells.

Then the targa top won't fit in the rear trunk. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) interesting...what's the inside of the front trunk look like? And where to the lines run to get to the engine? Where did your horns go?

All you need for the spare is that it's the right height, not width. Just use a stock steel 911 wheel & tire, and your top will still fit.

Horns??? One is bolted to the interior of the trunk, the other currently is not (note that the front panel of this car has been replaced with a '73+). Lines run under the right rocker panel (jack piont needed slight modification).

Well I have good news and bad news...

The bad news is that I can't go to this year's RRC party in the desert (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

The good news is that this gives me more time to properly sort out this oil cooler installation project (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

BTW-I'm back to wanting to do the fog light design.

McMark? Up for the challenge? I liked your offer. Can I trust your abilities?

I'm disappointed about missing RRC '06 too, but family matters take priority.

Gwen,

If you can get Mark to take on the project, I strongly suggest you do so. You will be happy with his work.
