[DeTomaso] Bypass (Re: thermostats)

[asajay at asajay.com]

Okay, so if a person uses a remote bypass thermostat, what do you do  
with the thermostat area in the block?  There is a bypass passage  
where the thermostat goes which the -special- 351C thermostat closes  
when the stat is fully open.  So do we block that?  Or must you make  
the water pump mod instead, which installs a small shim of steel to  
block the recirculation path?

Pardon me for my confusion, I'm not studying this very hard.  (trying  
to get some real work done in between emails)
