72's and IM240

[romans, mark]

I used to have the runaway temp problem on my 87 Vet.
In traffic or anywhere for that matter the cooling system was
marginal at best.
I installed a "BeCool" radiator and the coolant temp gauge
now falls under the heading of "Worlds most boring gauge"
What a relief!  No more stress!
