    Installed the fan shroud and the newly painted stock fan and water pump pulley. Lots of room to tighten the bolts on the fan. Let my daughter drive the car with me in the passenger seat and my father in law (original owner ) in the back. Windows down, Thrush Turbo rumble ... Peace on Earth!

    Drove 27 miles to the Autocross in the dark with the LED headlights glowing and the AC on because it was a dark, hot, and humid morning. Made 13 passes at the autocross in the heat of the day. I got in 8 runs while it was 95* and then later 5 more while it was 103*. Once done, I packed all my gear (pop-up shade, 100lbs of shade weights, large ice cooler, tool bags, lawn chair, and racing gear) back into the car and drove to a birthday party 20 miles away with the AC blowing. By this time it was 105 out. Temp gauge on the car was holding steady between 205 - 210. Left there at 7, still 102* out, and drove it another 10 miles back to the house.

    Replaced my Saginaw ps pump that started making noise after a few weeks on the car. Borgeson swapped it w/ abt a 10 day turn around including a weekend. One of the reasons I did the conversion, OE pump was makin noise, even after having it rebuilt; getting rid of all the rest of the leaking, OE plumbing and hardware was the other reason.
    Going to try get a new alignment Friday "tomorrow", as the mfg. suggest, add +3deg. over fac. specs. Have driven the car w/o the caster change and the car tracks, horrible, and won't self return to center.
