Subject:Re: Need help setting timing and idle on digifant

Hey John,

Thanks for the Bentley tip.  My first post was "rear of van hotter than
surface of sun."  In a nutshell, my engine and coolant temps seem to be
normal (according to the temp guage and radiator fan), van's performance is
excellent, but after short trips (6 miles, air temp = 75 F), the rear of the
van seems way too hot.  Even with the van idling, 10 seconds or so after
stopping, the metal is hot enough cause me to notice something is different.
(I referring to the areas between the tail lights and the license plate.)What
say you, oh one who is wise in the way of digifant?

TIA,
Philip
