Sorting out a CSX 6000 Series

Hi Jim I'll dig out a few pics. I used black button head screws with washers and nylocs to screw the tunnel front down. Between the color and the carpet they disappear. On the underside of those seams I used a reflective adhesive tape to seal the seams. It's gotta be wicked heat down there. Does it have a good seal across the top of the firewall? Get someone under the dash with the other guy running a light. Does it pump some heat through by the door hinges? I know you're concerned more about underhood temps. What temperature t-stat is in it? Are you running a bleed hole in the t-stat? Does it have a bypass hose off the water pump? Does water wetter, Royal Purple or similar help you guys? You already know you need to find out where your timing is at. The pink wire up in the right front fender should be hooked to a thermal switch. I use a temp switch right in the bottom of the expansion tanks. That is how they switched fans originally and it seems to be the right place to read temp for that. I have found the Spal fans do a good job as installed. Do you get cool nights? What about a heater, it's like an additional radiator. I'll get some pics out for you.
