Hello gentlemen, hope everyone is having a good week so far.
My '73 only has a temp warning light and I'd like to know that it is good before I push the car into regular use. I'm clearly struggling trusting the car absent gauges that give me the information I'm used to.... Pull and ground one of the leads? Thanks! |

Hi George!
So, effectively, is the light coming on when ignition is turned on and then off when running all the test I need? Thanks. |
