Driving with the windows down when the car has been heat soaked reduces inside temps slightly, but then the system should efficiently/effectively cool the car to very comfortable temps. I feel it gets close to performing this task, but not entirely. I am open to the idea of replacing the plumbing. I also added an underdash vent which my 77 never had from the factory and that has helped a lot. Targas also suffer more due to more glass exposure area.

@spyderMike - I added comments on your thread
I believe Julian was suggesting leaving the windows cracked while the car sat so as to “prevent” heat soak. Driving with the windows down is an effort to treat the heat soak.
