I like the look of your engine bay, is that a thermostat on your radiator?

[Husky350]

Nice looking car and engine bay...really nice 

Unilec5544 looks like a radiator cap with a pressure gauge on it

[JadeMach1]

Temperature gauge on the radiator is a MR Gasket brand don't know how accurate it is.

I am running a digital electronic thermo fans switch set at 90 degrees.

Still tinkering with some small details on the engine bay.

Fitted last night  some Accel Extreeme 9000 Ceramic leads to stop my leads from being burnt by the extractors will be interested  to see how well they work.

That looks really good. I have 15 x 7s Magnum 500s with 225/60 and 245/60. The rear tyres look a little balloony so have been thinking of changing to 8 x 15s on the rear. Decision made.

I ran the same tyre combination as you have currently got on a old XA falcon until l could find some larger rear rims 15 x 8 globes it made a real difference in the way it handled. Less flex in rear tyre walls l think.

Oh by the way when did you get the photo of the mustang with the war bird

Photo was taken last June long weekend. I got to fly it for a birthday present from my parents. This is in the Super Cheap calender for June.
