Thanks for the tips guys.  I learned to drive in a 1965 Beetle 35 years ago and later owned a 71 that was in the family for 20 years.  I just haven’t had time to check out the Duchess yet.  I live in KY and I left it at my condo in TN.  I plan to go back and clean it up this week.  I should be able to verify the heat issue then.
