<VV> LM turbos and no lower shrouds / TEMP-Warning light

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 The snap switch is set, according to GM, at 575F. Oil temp is important, but the heads change temp WAY faster, and that's where you run into trouble first.

Really -- 475!?  At least I get to learn something on this board!  My 
switch is probably original on that car, got it with 28k miles a few 
years back.  I don't mind, I drive slow and easy enough it never 
comes on.  I've always depended on the oil temp gauge anyway and I 
like to keep it in the 270 range.  Even with the Judson it is not 
exactly a rocket ship.  The big Weber helps ... this one has been my 
toy for non-stock although Judson never recommended the shrouds be removed.

That car is actually for sale (with lower shrouds included):
