Put in a can of Techron, filled it with ethanol-free super and then logged 90 miles at 65+ and 3500+. All better.

Drove the 88 for about 50 good miles on the back roads. Adjusted the idle (too high) and checked the oil level. 50 deg day. Warmest in weeks. Back into the ice box Tuesday. I hate winter.

Pictures in the post above show the tank "during" refinishing.
This is the final product, after all 3 steps of POR15 and a protective coating ![]() Front oil cooler before... ![]() Both oil coolers back from Pacific Oil Cooler Service ![]() ![]() My 86 Carrera did NOT come with a fan on the front cooler. Any suggestions on a quick and dirty fan install? I would use a switch to turn it On/Off. TIA!

What did you do to your 911 today?
Installed the 4-fuse ATO panel from fellow Pelican Fred Cook to replace the ceramic 3-fuse panel in the engine bay. Gave me an extra spot to wire in the constant power connection to the MSD Street Fire. Good time to trim up the corroded wire ends and grounds!
Also tidied up the wiring a bit. I think it turned out well. BEFORE ![]() AFTER ![]()
