Hi Mirek:
=20
I did not have the overheating problems when the car was housed in the =
Chicago Area and across the lake in lower Michigan where the car was =
housed there for many years. but never did it stay below 185. During =
the past 10 years of living in Southwest Florida the problems of over =
heating became serious. Hence the need to use additional cooling. =
Also, most if not all Healey owners have similar problems when I visit =
British Car Shows in Florida and discuss the topic. =20
=20
It is Winter in SWFL so the daytime temperatures are reaching 90 degrees =
and the night time temps are in the 70=E2=80=99s except when our =
Canadian friends send the US a blast of cold weather which does reach =
below Sarasota Tampa the winter frost line. My good friend who lives in =
the county outside of Punta Gorda yesterday woke up and saw his pickup =
truck all covered with Yellow Pollen which is 4 weeks early. Winter is =
over and summer is just around the corner in this new climate. By the =
time we leave for the 42 Parallel 1st weeks in May the temperature here =
is in the high 90=E2=80=99s and 80% humidity. So, if my Healey will =
operate at 212 degrees F, I am happy as can be. Enjoy your cool?? =
Winters and Cool summers?? For now, the change in Climate is moving =
north.

Best regards,

Bob, that seems terribly hot to me. My BT7 often runs around 170 in =
regular summer weather but even on the hottest days never goes above =
185. No electric fan =E2=80=93 just a bog standard cooling system, =
which is sufficient up here in Ontario.

Subject: [Healeys] Installing a rebuilt speedo
=20
So over the summer I had the speedo rebuilt by Nisongers. It looks brand =
new and works. First time in 15 years I have a speedo. Although my =
algorithm of add 15 mph to the tack number gets you the approximate =
speed in 3rd gear over drive. I am now trying to install the speedo =
permae dash and having problems remembering the wiring. As there are 2 =
wires with a circular ground connection, I should attach one to each =
holding spade? Has anyone got a picture or sketch of the back of the =
dash?
=20
Also, I am trying to install Led lights. Which should I order from Moss? =
The short ones? =20
=20
Also, when ordering some parts from British Car Specialists I was =
speaking with John and mentioned my overheating problems. Besides the =
normal suggestions, He mentioned the radiator cap has to be for a long =
neck British radiator. I when to my car and the radiator cap was a =
standard USA Stant, so I ordered the one he suggested. Yes, it is =
=C2=BC inch longer than the stant and put it on the radiator and when =
for my 25 mile drive on Tamiami Trail and back. The water gauge went =
right up to 212 and then to 230, but, settled down to 212 for the rest =
of the trip without operating the electric fan. While driving at 30-40 =
through my neighborhood home with the fan on the temperature stayed a =
little over 212 degrees. Hopefully, this temperature range with =
continue as I slowly get my Healey operating well enough for longer =
trips.
