[FC] COOLING AND IGNITION SWITCH QUESTIONS

That is the way that the switch should operate.  As for the thermostat, if you
aren't having any overheating problems, I wouldn't worry about it..... Paul in

  Hey Gang;

  I have an issue with the passenger side thermostat taking a long time to
open
  on my '63 Convertible ('65 95 HP engine).
  I've have confirmed that the thermostat works and adjusted it.

  I have noticed that there are no removable "Winter/Summer" plates on either
  side exhaust damper assemblies, just stamped (factory) cutouts that are
open
  at about 45 degree angles.  Could this be the source of the slow
thermostat?
  Should I bend these to a more closed position?
  I only drive the car in warm weather.  I noticed that they seem to be bent
to
  a flat closed position on my '63 Rampside.

  Also, I have an early-model ignition switch that can be turned on (starting
  the car) without a key.
  Any ideas on fixing this?

  Thanks,

  Scott Wilson
