As I (re)discovered with John Cronin's car recently the factory temp sender, voltage stabilizer, wiring and gauge are doing about as good as they can for being 30+ years old. As John Finch suggests, it's a good idea to use something that is a bit more reliable. In John Cronin's case I drilled and tapped for an aftermarket sensor and wired up a temporary gauge. Really funny to watch the factory gauge swing all over the place as the Autometer ran solid at ~180^F.
The aluminum 'spoiler' is just a formed piece of sheetmetal bolted in place under the factory lower lip and utilizes the oil cooler hardware for mounting. It extends down about 3-4 inches and does a great job of pushing up extra air. The spoiler is extremely helpful since we replaced John's engine driven fan with a smaller electric version.
Maybe John can post some pics???
