and also your temp gauge is controlled by the single wire plug and sensor going into the side of the head below the distributor. if had quite a few go bad on me

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
