[FC] COOLING AND IGNITION SWITCH QUESTIONS

[J R Read_HML]

Right side damper door usually opens later.  Left side has longer exhaust
"log" and also the oil cooler.  So, left side warms up faster.

Winter-Summer...  Closed in summer and open in winter.  I'm not that
familiar with EM cars, but I think there should only be one - on the left
side.  And, not removable like on a late.... Just BEND to adjust!  Depending
on what state you are in, you might just leave it closed all year if you are
only doing summer driving.

Ign switch - Are you saying that it can be moved from the LOCK position
without the key?  If so - replace it.

'66 beater Coupe - icemobile 4/140
