Took the V8 for a quick canyon tour today (scary), saw the usual collection of 911/993/996's, two repro Cobras, a 350GT, assorted Ferraris, and untold numbers of crotch rockets. Then four Becks playing tag. Nice!!
But I had the only 914 out there, so exclusivity is ours! How about breakfast and a Mulholland tour next weekend? |

Boxstr,
I don't think it is running hot. Haven't found sender wire yet, may be leaning against exhaust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) for all I know. Engine compartment is cool after running, and no typical overheating aromas. According to PO, dual tandem radiators with 2 fans. One is always on, the other is manual. Will take its temp a few other places. Dern tootin it's a kick in the ass. Feels just like my 57 283/270 did (at least I think..that was a long time ago). 13 second 1/4 and such, if I had a muncie 4 speed. Afraid this transax wouldn't cut that kind of foolishness. Still more concerned with gearing. Are you winding this high?? Get in touch when you come down to the desert, or will see you at June get together. Will let you know what I find in the next few weeks. |
