Thanks Paul,
The new owner gets the Grand Dame today and I will tell her to keep the cold start unplugged until it gets cold again... probably October!
We both know about the primitive fuel injection system, and #3 cylinder is in direct line for the cold start spray. Without the cold start, it helps to just touch the gas peddle on the initial start of the day and never again.
I will tell the new owner to try to keep it in 2nd gear around town, just to sometimes get the rpms up to 2,000. In 3rd(D) it will turn 1650rpm at 50 and 3200rpm at 70.
The Grand Dame is a fun, smooth riding car. I will miss her.

Klaus
