Hey Mark. Thanks.

If I ever see one, I'll pick it up.

This is interesting stuff, but seems I might just live with the higher
reading on my aftermarket temp gauge for now. The '85 temp gauge fits,
but looks crappy w/o some kind of face plate in there.

One of these days I'll install the low coolant module et al and have
it set up like the WBX.

Neil.
