<VV> A couple questions about my 1965 Corsa 180 Turbo Convt.

[Bryan Schaefer]

I am wrapping up a restoration of my '65 Turbo Convt. and need to know a 
couple things about temperature. I have about 150 miles on a complete 
overhaul. What is the optimal temp range for the operation? It is currently 
operating in the 300 to 390 range. Never getting over the 400 mark and under 
the 300 after the engine has warmed up. The outside temp is between 85 and 
95. This guage receives it's information from the thermister in the bottom 
of the left head, right? The Temp/Press light recieves it's information from 
the sending units in the bottom right head and the chrome "T" where the oil 
feel line to turbo is located, right? How do I make sure these are woking 
properly?

What is the normal level of boost from a stock turbo? How can I be sure this 
guage is functioning properly?

Also, I am installing repo rocker panel trim and did not remove before paint 
so I don't know how the mounting bracket goes back on the car.

The rear cove trim has a foam spacer that goes over the posts between the 
casting and the body, can any one suggest suitable replacement materials and 
methods?

thanks, Bryan
