[DeTomaso] Holy Overflow Tank Batman....

[Asa Jay Laughton]

I was thinking of using it for the bleed tube, not the thermo sensor.  :)

I'll put the temp sender in the same spot in the block it came out of.  
I'll probably use one of the two temp sensor in the radiator for the 
fans, unless suggested otherwise.
