Thanks Tercle for that link! I really like the audible alarm idea and the super quick install. I wonder how reliable a surface temp sending unit would be in a water-cooled application though. I already purchased another set-up... I found a cheapie gauge with a built-in adjustable dummy light (unfort...

Re: Thoughts on how to wire up a TEMP warning light?

Petros, Thanks for the ideas! I like the fan switch idea, though a separate overheat light would be ideal. I just saw your post and haven't check around for those aftermarket set ups you mentioned. I know I've seen the sender units for the aftermarket gauges, but all that stuff seems to be for race ...

Thoughts on how to wire up a TEMP warning light?

I am just finishing install of a rebuilt 3A-C, plus lots of new parts...hoping the tercel to last another many miles. This all after the sad premature death of the original perfectly-running, no-oil-burning engine at only 265k miles due to the radiator fan not kicking on at idle. It was -15F at the ...

Re: Throw out bearing pin?

Hi. I know this thread is super old, but I am swapping engines and noticed that my throughout bearing retainer clip is missing! It seemed to run/shift fine without it, if indeed it has been missing all along since last clutch job. Foryst...did you end up running without the clip, or did you find one...

Re: Need weird steering parts

Hey there everyone! Does anyone have a manual steering shaft from '83/'84 (without the tilt)? I too am gathering parts for the swap to manual power steering. Currently after PS pump failure, I have been driving with the belt disconnected and getting 2 mpg improvement! The minimal extra effort to ste...
