Bouncing MPH?
In Tucson,you really need to step up to the 75/140 weight oil.As for the speedo.Take the cable out and douche out the cable housing with brake cleaner then let it dry.Merles sells a speedo cable lubricant.

Would like your opinion
I use 20/50 and a Wix filter.I wouldn't use a FRAM filter on Charles Mansons lawnmower.Here in Tucson,10/30 or 10/40 is too thin.

Thermostat Housing and Cover Problem
Test the T-stat beforee installation.I've had 4 bad ones in a row from different sources.

Thermostat Housing and Cover Problem
One thing i've done is use stainless studs & nuts to hold the housing to the head. Second is i've powdercoated every square milimeter of the housing and cover.Third-i've drilled a 1/4 inch hole in the T-stat body.I've done this on my Z,my 810 daily driver and my wifes 620. Cut the center out of an old T-stat and run that for a test.If nothing changes,your problem lies elsewhere.Odds are it's the radiator all other things being equal.

Top 10 Japanese Supercars

Summer's here and I'd like to control my over heating
Something is not operating as intended.Silly stuff first: Verify T-stat opening.What degree are you running? Verify dash guage accuracy Fan shroud in place? Is the fan clutch good AND correct?The wrong one will not lock up untill 212 degrees Radiator-clean and free flowing?Should be a three core if you have A/C and depending where you are in California. All pusher fans do is impede airflow.
