Just got back from Syracuse yesterday and what a show. There were between 6000 and 7000 cars there. Drove the 37 and put on 720 mi. round trip and the thing ran flawless. We Had temps in the 90's on the way home and never over 170 temp except for a 3 mi hill when it got to 175, and that's with 170 thermostats. We drove between 55 and 65 and she purred like a kitten. Not many flatheads there but I kept hearing Oh a flathead! They are the prettiest engine on the concourse when they are dressed up. Just my opinion. Looking forward to our next trip in September.

Sorry Paul, I always remember to pack my camera on the way to the show.
Maybe someone else has some pictures.

I must have caught it from you Ron. Your engine ran like a clock Ron, about 16000 mi and runs better every day.
