Looking very nice Dave. I did the cardboard block on mine the other day, I covered about 90% of my radiator. It got about 5° above normal at the worst case, climbing a 4500' mountain pass.

I have a cheap remote thermometer I have used elsewhere, it will go underhood to check things out. I'll place it over and behind the heater (Turbo ).
