[DeTomaso] Meziere water pumps

[Forest Goodhart]

I run the Stewart remote pump in the return line from the radiator to the engine 
mounted pump. I have it wired so it comes on at the same time as the fans, about 
200 F, and it brings the temperature down to around 180 F and then shuts off. It 
doesn't run very often on the road but in very warm weather it does.I am happy 
with it in this configuration. I still have the block circulation for warm up 
and the engine driven pump does most of the work.
By the way, Bud's pump is remote mounted rather than block mounted.

Bud Williams has a block-mounted Mezier on his 351-C road Pantera. 
Installation required him to cut the surrounding framework of the hatch cover 
for 

clearance. I would have moved the engine, myself. He successfully made it to 
'Vegas & back from LA one year with a near-stock engine, although he said 
'things got warm on the road' a few times during the 250-or-so miles across the 
desert. 
But you were asking about remote mount pumps that mount on the radiator or 
in-line with the under-car pipes, no? I know of no one who's tried them- 
maybe drag racers. Seems like they would be better since you could also run a 
std engine-driven pump and use the electric at low engine speeds.
