Right on! Welcome aboard, George! I bought my cat in March and have had an awesome summer of driving ... and bugging everyone on this list with my Hot-Rod'ist-novice questions!

You will find this to be an excellent forum.

My two questions are; What is the "Normal" water temp on these cars? I was driving her today and the temp got over 160. I noticed the switch for the fans an turned that on and it seemed to help. Do those fan kick on automatically when needed?

Water temp depends on what thermostat was installed. I believe a lot of the early cars were initially spec'd with a 160F thermostat, but it's very common to run a 190F thermo today. My fans come on automatically, but - driving in the cool Canadian mountain air - I find they only come on when I'm in crawling traffic.
