Just an update on my car. I must have put about three to four thousand miles on the car since the last post taking her out for short drive most weekends. Lately the steering of my Borgeson steering box developed some on center movement but no leaks. After jacking up the car I found all three bolts to the K member are back off a few threads. Those are tough to get a torque wrench on. After tightening them back, the steering is now tight and firm again, no play. Will keep an eye on them and might need to pull them and add thread locker. Need to order another neutral safety switch since the one on the car has a slow leak. I might had over tighten it and cracked the black plastic. Probably wait until I need to change the trans oil.

Went to a local cruise yesterday evening. Stop and go traffic for an hour or so with low 70s outside. Engine temp was 185 and steady. Venting the engine compartment really help. It used to get around 210.
