Thank you to every one who has replied. In the winter (in texas) it runs normal. Fan clutch appears normal. I will try the "feel the radiator" approach.

So is 195 degrees at the thermostat housing too high?

What do you think about this reading on the temperature gauge? Is this too hot? 90 degrees outside. Thermostat housing reads 195 degrees with an infrared thermometer. Original radiator (2 row) that I had power flushed last summer. This gauge reads the same with or without the air conditioning on. Temp from the AC vents inside got as low as 35 degree on the highway with R134. The temperature did not drop on the highway and the car runs great. Just installed a new 180 thermostat. Advice?

Many thanks to all. Here is the finished product!

Just picked up some Interpart louvers for 1972 240z. They came off of a 1972 with all of the hardware except the key. My questions: Procedures/suggestions for getting the mounts under the window rubber; advice on finding keys or unlocking the locks; making the dull louver shiny. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks to all!

Very, very nice. I love the interior!

I shipped a Mercedes from LA to Austin for $800.

What did you do with the panasports?

Just picked up 3 today for $10 for all three. Installed. Nice!

Got the car out today and believe it is the idler pulley. I sprayed a little oil on it and it stopped making any noise. We will see how long that lasts.

Hey, I forgot...I got my T-shirt with logo. Looks great!

My wife wanted to go to the Christmas event in Fredericksburg, so we jumped in her GLK 350 and headed that way early yesterday morning. We ran through light rain until about 15 miles from Fredericksburg. Then the sky opened up to a pretty blue. We looked around downtown, had lunch at the Diner at the Hanger Hotel and were back in Austin by 2:30. Looks like a nice place for an event.

Thanks for your suggestions. I will get sometime to look at it this weekend.

I started hearing a noise at the front of the engine yesterday that increases as rpms do and decreases as well. How can I tell if it is the waterpump, alternator, or ??? No water leaks or cooling issues. Alternator is charging. Suggestions? Thanks.

I just called to cancel. Rats! Sounded like fun! Look forward to the re-schedule.

Just ordered a t shirt. Thanks! Nice and very helpful.

I would prefer a T shirt in white...

I also think the logo would look good on the back of the shirt if it was large enough.

I would be in for a T shirt. I will be driving from Austin most likely Saturday morning.

When I called the hotel to reserve a room for Saturday, I was asked if I was with the Corvette club??? I said I was not.

As a newcomer, I think the weekend should be great fun. I plan to be there on SAT night for sure.
