Tonight we find ourselves in Erick OK cooling down. Strong winds and 80 plus degree weather has nackered us. It amazes me how this Stovebolt keeps going considering.
I'm using every bit of this single barrel Rochester and the vacuum gauge hangs out in the red zone on most of the long up hills. Yet to date, I've averaged 13.5 mpg on this trip.
Removing the thermostat seems to have helped keeping the temp around 180, but I still need the auxiliary fan at crawling speeds. I'm thinking a shroud might be in order.
