Ya boy, ain’t that the truth!

For me c x 2 , + 32 gets me close enough.
Example; 10 c x 2 = 20 , +32 = 52 f.
The actual is 50 f but what’s a couple degrees amongst friends.

Whatever works!

Having a sense of distance between metric values and our standard values is not difficult for me since 1.6 km is 1 mile.  This makes estimating conversions fairly easy and quick.  The system I struggle with is having a sense of temperature when seeing values in celsius.  The conversion from celsius to fahrenheit is not as easy to estimate in the head.  (Formula to convert C to F:  (Celsuis * 9/5 + 32) 

Example --  If I hear that today is going to be 75 deg F, I will know how it is going to feel.  But if I were to hear that it is going to be 24 deg C today, I would not have a clue as to how it is going to feel. 
 

Ahh, Fahrenheit to Celius temperature conversion.  The formula is difficult to do in your head, here is something I learned along the way that may help.  
If you are dealing with temps only above freezing; for every 10 degrees C, F rises 18 degrees.  So:


C= 0 degrees, F = 32 degrees
C=10, F=50
C=20, F=68
C=30, F=86
C=40, F=104
C=50, F=122
And so on.
 
Had to deal with many electrical components where temperature ratings often come in degrees C.
 
Hope this helps.

 

Ouch! 
Interesting that the driveshaft looks 'new', compared to the undercarriage.

TKO - to your point, my wife wanted to know what impact a deuce has on removing the lights! 

Sad, and I've found the 300+ page owners manual is sometimes of no help.  

Just to cover the basics, is the fluid at the proper level? 

Ready to go for only about $430,000!

MS - Very thankful for this forum you created, great collection of very knowledgeable and helpful guys.
Happy Thanksgiving to all members and your families.

I have the Ford 1966 Mustang Shop Manual that has the carburetor specs (for all the carburetors), I can make a PDF and forward it to you if you send me your email address. 

Progress!
