Re: Rough Running - Sometimes
Thanks Corley,
I'll try some of your suggestions. I had thought that it could be the coil or condenser. I don't know how to check either of those things except to swap them out and see what...

Re: Question
Look at the top of the side windows. When I was in the Navy, my commanding officer was Commander Briggs. Very straight laced, no-nonsense kind of man. A friend of mine had a cat named Murray. ...

Re: Water temp?
140 to 160, depending on weather and whether I'm driving along or idling in traffic. Running straight water. Have never seen it go above 165.
