Griff...
The Sensor is about the only thing that hasn't been changed. And, yea... made a couple of discoveries today. First, the Distributor was loose. We could turn it by hand. The timing was off the scale off... way advanced. Got that corrected. Seemed better at idle and then when we ran higher RPMS. Took it for a test drive. Didn't go 'as hot' but still wasn't anywhere I'd be comfortable driving it. Got back and shot it with a laser temp gun. Showed the block around the sensor at a respectable 187 degrees.
So...
Now I'm looking at replacing the sensor. I'm hoping I don't have to remove too much to get that switched out. But... I'm glad I think we finally have it straightened out.
