Steve,

Install a Milodon 160 deg thermostat! They make the engine a cooler place.

Dan,
I replaced the existing 160 Stant unit with another 160 Stant unit with no difference. I even drilled a tiny bleed hole in it to get rid of trapped air.

Have you had any better results with the Milodon unit? Better flow maybe?

Default Gramma's Car won the Year One 17" Ralley Wheels

Talk about a shock! I got a call this afternoon from Year One telling me that I won the contest give-away set of 17&quot; Ralley Wheels for my Gramma's Firebird. I initially thought it was somebody trying to sell me something, so I almost hung up on him. Turns out I haven't been answering my Facebook notifications so they had to track me down from an old purchase invoice that matched by name.

Now I have to buy some rubber for these rims. Any suggestions?

Here's a shot of one of the rims from someone who recently bought a set:

Congratulations! Throw those babies on the Trans Am to give it a different look.

Year one just came out with them and had the contest to win a set and get the word out on the new rims. They recently came out with 17&quot; version of the honeycomb, as well, which is the other wheel I lusted after, but beggers cant be choosers I guess. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

They also have the 70 and up Z28 wheel in 17&quot; aluminum, too.
