Its the excitement only a free man can feel.  A free man at the start  
of a long journey, whose conclusion is uncertain"

One of those fancy non-contact laser thermometers works great for  
checking
this.  I thought my Spit was running WAY hot this summer until a  
friend used
his laser thermometer and showed me that it was running perfectly in  
the temp
range.  Talk about a sense of relief!  It turns out my voltage  
regulator was
done in and had my temp gauge reading way off.

You can pick up a cheap one at Horrible Freight for about $40.  Nice  
to be
able to see the temp at the top and bottom of the radiator, at the  
thermostat
housing, at the header, etc. at a glance.  Plus...it's a lot of fun  
to play
with.  :)

Actually - they are on sale right now for $29.99

Make sure you check the temp with a calibrated gauge before you get
too excited. I have several gauges and senders, and found that I
could make the gauge read anywhere from 1/4 to 3/4 depending on
exactly which combination I used!
