At that stage I did not run thermostats, but have them fitted now and it runs at about 170 to 180 deg even on fairly warm days. A friend has two 1936 Fords, a sedan and a coupe and he fitted these new improved pumps to both cars with similar results to my 34. I did prime paint and color paint the pumps before fitting. They have been on a couple of years now and all is good. Good value I think and the pumps are all new castings not old originals. Regards, Kevin.
Kevin, The pumps are your old castings completley remachined. G.M.
