Hi All,

I really feel like I'm taking advantage of y'all here. I can't wait until I learn enough to help someone else.

Got the car back from my mechanic today.. Good news, he says it's a nice tight car. He found and fixed/adjusted a few things..$330 bill. Life is good.

He did have to replace the thermo switch on the radiator. He said it wasn't switching into high speed. The temp still goes higher than I would like. I think I'm going to need to replace the switch again (and keep the new one for a spare.) I think I want the switch with the lowest temerature rating. Pelican shows one with an 85 degree celcuis rating. This should make the fan come on at a lower coolant temperature. Is that correct?

Y'all are right about the clutch. It's the original one, as best he can tell. Oh well. I told Dennis I will be getting the aluminum flywheel. He said to get a high performance clutch if I was gojng that direction. I've found the Centerline Dual Friction clutch at a couple of places. Are there any other choices? Is the performance clutch going to give me a hard pedal? Years ago I drove a 5.0L Mustang (Fox Body) that had a super hard clutch. I don't want this. Am I OK to do the Centerline or just get the Sachs?

Thanks again. I hope to not continue being a pest, but y'all know what you are doing...a wealth of information, and greatly appreciated.
