Took the '46 out for a country drive today. First time it's gone very far in months. It started fairly easily and ran decently after it warmed a bit, and it drove about like it always has for me.
Speaking of heating, I think that the high reading on the (aftermarket) temp gauge is erroneous. I took along my trusty laser temp gizmo and shot the engine after it had been running for about half an hour, including 10-11 miles of driving. At the thermostat housing, it read about 175* and the head read 190* or so. The gauge was reading about 220*. I think that it used to read 195* under similar circumstances. Regardless, it still needs a cooler t-stat. The heat works nicely, though.
I got 12 salvage wall cabinets and 20 salvage lights for the garage. I worked on wall cabinets this weekend, until my back started to complain. They'll be great for smaller bit-n-pieces. THe lights will get the building like an operating room. My eyes will be so happy.
