[TPR] What radiator

[Mad Dog Antenucci]

I can't recall if Dick installed drilled thermostat or no thermostat and not 
real sure if it was 180 or not but the Pantera takes waaay too long to heat 
up....pretty sure the plate on water pump impeller is there.

DICK YOU THERE to answer JB's question on thermostat?

DaWg,

I think you also are not running any thermostat (higher coolant flow rate).  Is 
there a plug in the block under the thermostat housing?  Do you know if you have 
a plate on your water pump impeller?
