[Shotimes] cutting vent holes in the header panel

[Bruce Malachuk]

I think you put a 180F thermostat in, cause you gave me a nearly new 190
thermostat when you were doing all the cooling system mods to your car a few
weeks back.

Your right Don. While idling the fan, which is, center mounted will draw air
in from that area. Ron is right about when the car is in motion.

But they should have had a colder thermostat, I have the Grille and I
installed a 180 or 190  I forget thermostat with a TRUE dual core radiator
in my Plus and while sitting in traffic it hits the point to hit the fans
all time.  But while driving its ICE cold almost where the L would be, I
don't care much about mileage or my cats since I don't have any.

Ron,

How is the "police grill" misnamed?  It IS the grill that was on all Police
package Tauri from 1986 through 1991.

it also came on the taxi package, so you could call it the taxi grill.

It does allow more airflow through the grill, and that goes into the
radiator, but we determined long ago that the Gen I SHO really isn't lacking
in cooling.

The reason I and many others have the grill is for looks, I think it looks a
LOT better than the stock grill.  My personal opinion, but it IS the grill
that Police cars got.
