[T3] Old Type IIIs (cooling)

[James Lingenfelter]

LOL! Well, now I know. So most likely, this was a dealer modification  
done when the car was new...... So, I already know my car is less  
cool because I don't have the original fuel injection..... will the  
purists also look down on my car because my louvers are held on with  
big ugly sheet metal screws?? LOL.
