Hi Fran:
Thanks for your support (as Bartles and James would say). Double check that
coolant temp, though. I've heard them Veglia guages have a bad habit of lying.
You can do this by putting an oven temp guage probe into one of those two
expansion tanks and read the real temp (that's where the temp sense is). Well, I
have my work cut out for me but for some reason, I feel that #2428 is
rebuildable. I can feel it in my bones. Cal. #2428.
