DAMN IT.

Did you clear the coating from the water bridge flanges and NTC-II sealing surface to ensure a good ground for the NTC-II (Temp-II?)

Dave - to be honest I didn’t sand it down - but the car starts hot//cold perfectly. If it didn’t I probably would have looked there first or if does become a problem... but good call regardless ...

You will know: after an hour or two, the idle will be upgefuncky. It might take some hours of running before it manifests.

Beautiful car! I had a gold (Hellbronze) '85 5-speed & never should have sold it. That's an excellent year & manuals are more fun!

Thanks for the tip on the zinc-plating shop! I'm close enough that I'll eventually get all my stuff over there.
