Thanks guys!

Lance- I did drill a 1/8" hole in the Stant t-stat when I installed the new water neck setup. Seem to do the trick.

I've noticed that with my water temp sender now in the head that my gauge reads about 15-20* higher than when the sender was in the intake. I haven't had any coolant spew out of the radiator, so I don't think the engine's actually too hot. Is that a common temp differential between head and intake placement?

Also, my timing was too advanced initially (fixed last night) and I believe my carb is too rich at this point. Both of which could possibly contribute to higher temp readings as well. I'm going to hook up my AFR gauge this evening and get that sorted.

Daniel
