Bill, How come you never started selling those new "Stick-on" numbers for
the temp gauge?  We talked about them, remember?  You place it over the
numbers on the factory gauge and the gauge will show the 175 one line to the
left of center.  The 164 will always run with the temp in the center!
Problem fixed and postings over!
