Hi guys,
I just saw the postings on recent trip from 66 route and it was mentioned that there are few joined the event with 4 cylinder engine. My question is, how reliable is it for a long drive/trip with just a stock set up engine without modification in the cooling system? Or does it need modification in the cooling system and what are those items? My car is a 1975 1.8 FI. Thank you and God Bless! http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-...92529_thumb.jpg |

QUOTE(damesandhotrods @ Apr 8 2013, 10:00 AM)  You should see the mileage the bus crowd racks up in their Type IV Westys… My dad used to have a bus that I used to drive for more than 4 to 5 hrs trip and that is in the Philippines that has an average weather temperature of around 80 to 85 degrees F. Well it looks like I should not be worry with my teen. Thanks! |
