"Slightly cooler reading" = more rich mixture and you can affect that easier using the mixture control on the air meter. However, I guess putting a resistor inline with the temp sensor would achieve the "slightly cooler" trick with the ECU. Bentley says: Oil Temp Meter reading 14 deg F 7,000 - 11,600 68 deg F 2,100 - 3,100 176 deg F 270 - 390 so you have some reference points. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Young young@sherlock.SIMS.Berkeley.EDU Lafayette, CA 94549 '81 Vanagon ---------------------------------------------------------------------
