"Something in the Orange"
something ELSE in the orange! This is the forecast for this week at our old house. Living in southeast Texas with orange car was really great about 8 months of the year but it never had an air conditioner. My garage didn't either. I actually put insulation on my aluminum garage doors to keep that morning sun from baking the hell out of it.
My wife and I called this time of year Texas' Winter since one pretty much stayed indoors. If I ran the car, it was in the morning and we tried to get back by 10. I still went to Livingston once a month and coming home on 59 at 4 was ok at 80 miles an hour but sitting at lights (3 in Diboll) sucked! I was running the original radiator and a clutch fan set pretty close but no shroud. Much of that fiddling around with the distributor and vacuum advance between road time and the race track was to get back to a sweet spot that the car ran coolest on the road in the summer. I swear that the low mounted spoiler reduced airflow from the bottom. I don't remember as many vapor lock issues until that showed up. I tried a lot of things to get around that going forward. The high is fixin' to be 66 here today btw !!!
