[DeTomaso] Thanks everyone for the encouragement Re: I blew up my car

Okay, the selling comment was to just "get it off my chest,"  I feel 
much better now.

Please understand that I've been fighting that old cooling system 
problem off and on for 10 years.  First I find my fans are on 
backwards.  Then I find they are wired wrong and sucking are from the 
front instead of pushing.  I change radiator caps, bleed and burp the 
system, replace the radiator, etc.  Now, while it's down for other work, 
I fix the radiator up with sucker fans, replace all the tubing and 
hoses, find the heater nipple on the block rusted away, find the 
radiator cap won't hold 9 lb, find the water neck screwed up, find holes 
in the overflow tank, etc.  I figure I got this nailed.

It was extremely frustrating to see it do that today as I'm running 
around the car trying to figure out why, trying to figure out if coolant 
is actually circulating through the radiator, or through the heater core 
(which I was attempting to check just as the whole thing blew).

So I'll take a couple of days off to cool off, spend some time with the 
family and attack it again this weekend, which by the way... is a three 
dayer.  :)
