    Water temp bulb stuck in head

    I found this out the hard way also. Remove the valve cover, you will see that the rear rocker arm support bolt is in perfect alignment with the temp sender and if someone installed too long a bolt it will hold the temp sensor in. Sorry for the bad news.

    Installing fenders and hood

    Yes that arm rests on the lip of the fender. The bolts for the latching mechanism are recessed as mine are flush with the vertical face of the fender. I am going to check my parts catalogue to see if the latch and the hoods are interchangeable between the two years.
