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? |

QUOTE(Howard @ Mar 6 2004, 09:19 PM) Some things so far. According to temp gauge, it runs really hot 240 or so. But doesn't feel that way. Think sender may be in the wrong place. Don't have oil temp gauge, but oil not that hot to the touch after driving, engine and front compartments all seem OK. Where is your sender mounted? Final gearing sucks. Tranny ratios spaced about right (don't use first) but final drive much too low. Speedo does not work, but according to gear chart 3000rpm=57mph. . How have you handled this? Howard, I suggest we start a new thread on your cooling issues. There are at least 4 of us with V8s here and should be able to help you out. I'll kick off the new thread. John |
