    Advice on 95 cobra

    Sweet ride for sure and I think Kurt nailed it....that car has alot of money tied up in it. Having to smog it is a pain so you need to throw some money at it right off and you dont turn your own wrenchs so plan on paying someone. Is your wife gonna freak when you buy and then need to dump a...

    Optimum coolant temp???

    What would you consider a optimum temp???? My new 331 has a hard time getting to 160 - 170 this time of year. I noticed my oil separator had a milky looking oil in it today?? I cleaned it out a month or so ago and hadn't driven it since. I'm thinking my motor temp is to low and its maybe...
