Dave is right about the timing when Larry visited here last year we
changed the timing on both of our cars and they both ran hotter we
changed it back and the gauges went down. Sound scientific to me

Mine is one of the motors thatwants to run hot. I "won" the temp measurement during the Rock River Swim with Dave the Wave in 2004. Tried everything I can think of. Timing does have an impact. Definitely directly related to ambient air temperature also. Just began getting some missing when hot --electrical, not vapor-locking. Hard to troubleshoot the intermittant problem & it's usually out on a lake. Smooths right out as thing cool down. Leaving beautiful Solvang, Santa Barbara & Lake Cachuma today, heading towards Parker, AZ and the Colorado River for a week of water play before going back north. Those of you in the SW are in a prety nice place! --Larry (& Nancy)
