i think it is 12 deg with the plug removed at the therm housing that makes the fan run. I think... someone correct if incorrect.

12 deg, correct. The connector is the coolant sensor.

Yup, 12 degrees. Get the engine warm and disconnect the coolant temp sensor by the t-stat with it running. set timing. Reconnect connector. Shut the car off, remove the ign key, disconnect the battery for a minute or two, hook it back up and drive away.

To remove the headlight switch you need to reach up under the dash and feel for the headlight switch. There will be a small button on the bottom side, probably 3/16" wide. Press the button in and pull out on the headlight knob. It might take several tries to get it out as it can be a pain.

Doh, simon beat me to it as I wrote my novel.
