Some cosmetic things on the interior that need to be done; saggin headliner, re-cover the speakers at the kick panels, stuff like that.
I thought about installing an electric water pump. But, after seeing what happended to Pete after his failed...I'm not so sure anymore. (We briefly grazed the topic of some pump failure sensors, but (I) haven't discussed it beyond that.)
Then just yesterday, while "blowing out some cobwebs", the GM spring clamp on my right side coolant pipe allowed the hose to slip off of the pipe. When I noticed the fog behind me, the temp was already climbing, and got oh so close to that hashed line area at the top end of the temp scale before I could pull off the highway. Now I'm praying I didn't hurt it! So, this being the second time I've had coolant issues at WOT, the thought again returns to the electric pump. However, I wouldn't install it w/o some redundant monitoring scheme (prolly a combination of electrical and temperature sensing). We'll see.

Paul upgrade to Samcos and get those Samco stainless clamps. Get rid of those Dorman style ring clamps. Did the check Guages light come on? GC
