RE: IML: 70 autotemp

["Tony Fortner" <keith_f79@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Keith

  Where are you from?  I have a 70 Imperial also and the auto-temp works 
exactly as it should.  I am in NW ohio and you are welcome to come see my 
car if you are not too far away.  Maybe using mine as a guide will be a help 
for you....

                                                                   Tony
