throw maybe a 160 on/145 off in the upper rad hose if you don't have a good engine port?

I do like the simple-switch bro.
I've got master disco, ignition on which includes everything, and a start button.
Had gauges but I think they've finally all died.
I do want a shift light again, need a better quality one that lasts longer than one race.

hit the (documented) 500 miles mark

no complaints... still have to calibrate the speedometer

will need a bigger (custom) radiator this winter..  I have a feeling there inst enough coolant in the system and im getting cavitation on long highway runs
I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

well ....
speedo still needs to be calibrated..
still need to address cooling for summer hwy travel

new to note.. I keep blowing the electric fan relay.. been through 2 this summer..
just keep a spare in the truck.. solved that problem

travels 70 MPH on drum brakes and 2001 vintage XZL military tires  :o

forgot how a short wheelbase, light 4x4 feels after hitting some not well paved roads..  ::)

the dauntless is just perfect in this truck..  should have done this swap in the 109 years ago..
