Well if she is , she's certainly getting a lot of pampering! It is wierd, though, that all this came about after the "incident". It's all making it a better car, though, and since I'm keeping the Vette, it's all OK (thank goodness!).

 Get your 195 degree T-stat, a bottle of water wetter, and a gallon of anti juice. You'll be good to go in May.

Barry, I had to replace my radiator just before the Hot Springs Gathering in 2008 and it really helped cool her down and I had no trouble at all.   See ya'll in a couple of weeks!!

At least I got some GOOD news today. First off, the new radiator arrived, but hasn't been installed yet. Lew said he was having trouble locating a polished stainless steel muffler for the right side (baffles loose, heck of a racket) so I said, "Well the MAM catalog says limited life time warranty, let me call them." Had the invoice with me so I called MAM. After being on hold for what seemed like an eternity, a guy named Mark picked up. I told him of the problem and gave him the order # and the customer # and he said Yep, it's under warranty! They'll ship the new one out today and I should have it Tuesday or Wednesday! I then  have to ship the old one back. ALL FREE! Even though I bought the mufflers in 2008! That's why I like dealing with a reputable place! Mike and the boys are great!

I got to visit the Vette on Friday. The new radiator is installed (Lew said they had a heck of a time getting it in, even though direct replacement, as it was slightly thicker). Lew said the difference was amazing! Never even gets close to getting hot, even on the highway! New muffler is on and old muffler sent back (I handled that). While I was there, they installed the new tach circuit board. Nothing happened. They then put the old board in (it works intermittently) and it worked! Lew called Corvette America and they're sending out a new one. Thank GOD I didn't put that in myself because I doubt I would get an exchange on an electrical part. The car should be wrapped up by mid-week (not a moment too soon!). I should have the weekend to get it ready for Charleston! Keeping my fingers crossed!
