I picked up the car today from the shop who was replacing the AIR tubes on the exhaust manifolds.  They did a great job as usual, but as I was pulling the car in to the driveway, I glanced at the temp gauge and it was showing cold (dead).

Marshal the temp sending unit is right near where they worked. Driver side it will be between 1st and 2nd spark plug single wire coming off the fender with blade type clip just push it back on.

That did the trick!  I figured it was something easy like that!

Isn't it nice when something is EASY for a change? How did the tubes work out? No more noise?

No more noise!  Tubes were apparently a pain to get on.  And unfortunately, instead of the brassy color of the original, these aftermarket ones are pure black.  They look nice, but they don't look original.

But at least no noise and no worries about carbon monoxide! Sometimes close is good enough!

The original AIR tubes going into the manifolds would have been black, with a gold cad plated check-valve where the hose connects. The tubes usually turned a brownish color after a while(years)....
At least ya got it all handled!!
