So what is the answer ? When I was a yout, beer cans propping up the hoods 
on 'vettes were popular. Think this would be more effective for a LM than 
an early since the LM has a solid hood.

Going to the meet yesterday the thermocouples on the plugs were reading 
300F (#2) and 280F (#5) after nearly an hour at 3500 rpm & 80F ambient, you 
really did not want to touch the dip stick with bare fingers but not a sign 
of VL. According to the SAE papers, the temp at the plug is about 100F 
lower at the plugs than by the exhaust tubes so a thermister might have 
read 380-400F.
