Spent the last 10 days with our daughter (49 yo) that recently diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. She has 3 girls with 2 still at home. Never smoked, just bad genes in our family.
If i could take it from her I would in a nanosecond. Don't mean to be a downer, but realistic and asking for prayers.

That's terrible to hear. I wish the best for you and your family. Material things mean very little in times like these.

jdk971 stopped by to replace my L-79 carb with an extra one he had, so mine could be rebuilt.

Thanks James.

We then went to visit midyearvette, AKA Frank.

I installed headlight relays on my 65 coupe. Made a very nice difference in brightness.

I missed the question in your post but I've had 64 and 65 coupes and that's the typical performance of the fan. Those that say that fan is useless have never had a correctly operating one. On high, it will blow your hat off if you get too close.
Having owning my 64 back in the 70's, and partaking in the devils weed back then, I always flashback on this scene of "Up in Smoke" of a cop walking up on my car with the exhaust fan running on high.

Replaced the ailing temperature sender with one from my FLAPS. Checked the reading with an IR gun and it is pretty close. $12.92 all in.

Regards,
