DAMN IT.

I thought you'd found some magic...

Also powder coated the water bridge, spider and thermostat housing metallic silver.

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.

Fair enough!!

Really nice work! Thanks for sharing what you found to fix her.

Very nice!

Congrats!

Drive it to cars & coffee so you can park it next to my 86 Guards Red, 5 Speed & LSD

Nice day meeting up with 3 928s and picking up 32 bottles of booze! Brad, I have yours at my house... you better hurry, it’s calling my name

Any 928s going to be at the Columbus Supercars gathering tomorrow?

I’m planning on going

I'll be there in a little while!

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.
