There is no thermister on a 110. The hole in the right head may/should be
empty. On the left is the temperature SWITCH (installs where thermister
would install on the other side if you were supposed to have one).
     If you have a rapid oil leak coming from the area of #5, remove the
lower shroud and check to see if you have your oil-pressure sender screwed
into the threaded hole in the block at that location. If you do, remove the
sender (it leaks) and replace it with the 1/8" pipe plug from the hole in
the top of your oil filter adaptor (rear center of the engine). Screw a NEW
oil-pressure sender into the hole on the top of the oil-filter adaptor and
reroute your wires to hook it up in this new, easier-to-service location.
     The senders start to leak every 5 years or so.

Subject: <VV> front tires size


i have a 65 monza sedan 110 4 spd and i just got some new American Racing
rims for my car the rear is 15x7 and the tire size is fine on the those (the
rear).. the rim size is 14x6 and i believe they are 195 (cooper cobras) on
the front.. not for sure.. how big can i go on the front with out having any
grinding or body work done?

also on the same car i have a major oil leak we just got it started and were
timing it toning and it looked like 1/8 of a cup dripped out in the
10-minute max period that it tooks us to guestimate time it.. its on the
right bank looks like its comin from the cylinder head maybe a push rod tube
or something of the sort?

also the head temp is on the wrong side does this make a difference? and
does the 110 need a thermister it has the hole for one but nothings in it
what do i need?
