On my way to the G&R Swap Meet I had the roof on the car. Head temps were between 300-325F and oil temp was straight up and down on the stock '74 2.0 oil temp gauge.
On the way back with the top off the oil temps crept up to the "P" while head temps stayed the same. I wonder if this has anything to do with the top being off? Changing the flow of air over the cover or even aerodynamic drag as I always drive it at 80MPH indicated (who the hell knows what that really is with the Falken Azenis on there...). |
