Well, I'm driving my stock 71 1.7 from north AZ. To south Phoenix, and it's going to 108, or higher. My concern is heat and my engine. Never drove it with this type of hot weather. Should I have any concerns . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

BTW, a cooler full of ice (with a little water) and a dish towel are a lifesaver in that kind of heat. Soak the towel in the ice water, wrap it around your neck.
Vapor lock is not always a problem in that kind of heat. I did experience it in the Nevada desert, but I poured some water into the area above the pump and cooled it to where it ran again. --DD |
