Hey Lance,

just assembled an 88 s/c from alot of pieces and noticed that even down here in the warm climates my ride (untouched engine) needs lots of warmup time.
(this car sat along 13 yrs in storage too)

The 88 temp gauage is 1/4 way left of center on the dash gauge all the time.

Then consider the 89 s/c racecar, immediate warmup, with guage locating straight up and down. this racecar has had alot of Thermo changes due to Xmas drives to snowny Detroit. Not sure what's in there now really.

My 87 drag car had fan relay problems when only 1 of 2 fans wouldn't work. Heat gauge went wacko. I could not detect the 2nd fan wssn't working w/o a/c on.

When you key up the car do the front fans or side engine vent fan start up first?

Have you seen them all work. Then w and w/o A/c on?

Keep an eye on all those intake-supercharger air hoses, even a tiny loose clamp will produce unusual symptoms in this engine..

Hey, do you drive this car in the snow?

Happy Motoring
