E - I know my engine is runnig hot because of the oil burning up and all the smoike coming from the valve covers!! As far as the wire goes - I have my tach cable running into the car thru the hole right behind the battery. Good luck - Wilson 69' Square In a message dated 7/26/97 8:15:49 AM, you wrote: <<> I don't know how it is for stockers, but I know that the timing on my > engine makes a difference.

I'm curious - how do you know it's running hot if you do not have an oil temp gauge (other than the obvious loss of power or the blowing of your engine...) Speaking of gauges, what is the best method for running additional wiring back to the engine compartment for tach, oil senders, etc.? I remember the previous owner of my '67 had the wiring running on the bottom of the pan but that seems inadvisable. I took a look under the rear seat for a hole and the only thing I could see that seemed plausible would be to run them through the hole/seal where the battery to starter cable is. Or drill another hole but I hate to do that... Any suggestions?>>
