Also, what are you guys using for temp gauges?? I am thinking it would be nice to have a gauge with actual temp readings on it. Thanks again for all your help! Keep it coming!!

We use a hand held laser pointed temp gun. From this you can see
where the gauges read. The best thing is to run with no thermostats
until you see the temperatures, stats don't help with cooling, just make
the engine run hotter. The best thermostats fit into the upper radiator
hoses. Bob Shewman in Kimberton, Pa. make stats that fit in the hoses.
Bobs phone number is 1-610-933-6637 Beware of stats with small flow
opening, these restrict the flow of coolant through the engine. G.M.
