Before figuring out how to adapt a Hastings aftermarket gauge to my
engine conversion, my IR gun really helped to determine if the coolant
temps on my conversion were ok. Given the situation, it was worth the
investment.

But.....

When stuck in the middle of BFE w/o the IR, the crayon sure would be
handy and a good tip for me to remember...... although I won't be
drawing on my coolant hoses. <grin>

Do they sell crayons in BFE?  ;)
