In the instrument panel gauge, the "boxed" area under the main line indicates "normal range". Usually, about 1/2 way from "C" is about 200*F, a 180*F thermostat should put it just a bir below 1/2 way.
Where is the needle staying?

Put yer glasses on open yer eyes! Lol :lol: , nah I’m just kidding its alright. We all make mistakes. I unfortunately did not have a core support, (or fender) tag for the triple black car I originally posted about in 2019 that you mistakenly posted about though at the time. And still don’t sadly.

I know this car is listed around here somewhere but could not find it. I recall trying to find the trim tag for this car before.
Can someone direct me to the other thread on this car?
Yea, the problem is my ears are pretty old.... and abused.... and some tinnitus in my left ear just for good measure. A lot of this gets wasted on me.
I'll drop a name though.... Back when we had the calibration lab, one of our customers was McIntosh Labs in Binghamton, NY. We did a bunch...
This fella is super easy to talk to and has said he purchased it for motor and ac parts. The rest is going wherever. Said he would sell anything for the "right price" as he is not a fan of the C body.
Those seats are in great shape. Hate to see those thrown out in the weather.
yes, it was the IMCDb that made me aware of a Newport like mine being in any movies at all. The Infiltrator features a black 66 Newport 2 door, but I'm pretty sure it's not my car.
Car I'm trying to buy is 1973. Thanks for the tip, Willis! Will post pictures if I buy.
Great info! Thanks Wyatt.
Possibly using Carter AFB 625 cfm square bore. 1.5" diameter primary throttle blade, 1.625+" secondary. Think there'd be any issues with throttle blades opening after mounting it?
He is going to check on the washer bottle for me on Monday. Unless you are already talking to him about that one piece.
Also, perhaps a deal on the tags,etc.etc.
I think sound is the most subjective of all the changes we make. So many things to choose from. And we don't know what it's going to sound like until we run the test. So many test to run.
You pay your money, and you take your chances. Wash, rinse, repeat till happy.

The trim tag was lost during a repaint in 1980.
When the car was purchased the current owner had the carpet replaced and the upholstery company found no BS under the seats when they removed them. Nice fella that is willing to talk about the car.
Hood seal. Helps redirect air through the radiator
Your '66 should have a metal "stone deflector" that is bolted between the radiator support and the bottom of the bumper. That also helps keep the air flowing through the radiator.
What temperature thermostat did you change to?
On the mini starter conversion kit: I removed the connector from the mini starter (see photo) and installed the mini starter without the conversion kit to see if one is actually needed. For peace of mind, I am ordering the conversion kit (I just ordered it now from the link posted above)...
