<VV> Pertronix 1 and engine "heat" ?

[Eric S. Eberhard]

So true -- if you are indeed getting more horsepower it should run a 
little hotter.  Also, I would take the temperature displayed with a 
grain of salt. I have tried 3 thermisters in my Spyder, all 3 give 
different readings by a variance of about 50 degrees.  It also turns 
out than even the most innocent change can cause a variance.  The 
wire to my thermister, the heat protected one in the shroud, was 
frayed so I put a nice new one on ... that jumped temps at least 25 
degrees.  I suspect it changed the resistance a little.

So I've just decided that I know what is "normal" and if it goes more 
than 50 degrees over normal I would be concerned (it never has).  If 
I were you I would just consider the new temp normal and watch it.
