[DeTomaso] cooling system

[Asa Jay Laughton]

The brass plate is the only thing necessary in the block for proper  
bypass operation. However, you must also use the proper thermostat  
that has what we call a little "hat" on it that closes the hole in the  
brass plate when the thermostat is totally open.

I have some photos on this page that help illustrate the water flow  
paths in the water pump and the block.  They start about half way down  
the page:

I think someone else has photos of the thermostat or at least a  
cutaway drawing of how it works.

> Today the body shop called me and told me that the brass ring is not the

> Your advise is greatly appreciated.
