John,
I'll try that if I can get up enough energy to pull the guage. However, the
engine compartment definitly seems very hot when I shut it down. Has anyone
removed the underhood insulation? I don't know if that would help, but I
noticed that none of the corvettes at last weekend's car show had insulation
under the hood.
