[DeTomaso] Cooling System

[Brian Dudley]

Not sure about the Edelbrock water pumps, but Flowcooler has a male 5/8"
hose fitting for the heater hose and a threaded 5/8" female fitting, I use
that for my MSD fi sensor. The Ford water pump that was on my engine
originally, had the thermostatic vacuum hose sensor screwed in that hole.
You dont want to use a location for the sensor after the thermostat as you
will get delayed readings. Most FI systems need about 160F before they go
into learning or closed circuit.
I think the port on the water pump is reading a few degrees cooler than the
block mounted temp sensor as the heater hose fitting next to it I believe,
is the return. You could swap the sensors around and use the MSD display to
get the more accurate water temp from the block, either way will work.

     I am assuming you are not talking about mounting them in one of the
     hoses or
     the pipe from the thermostat - since a bad thermostat could have the
     engine
     circulating water and be very hot while the radiator and its hoses
     could be
     pretty cool.

     Stephen,
     There are coolant outlets available for the 351C that you can put a
     sender
     in.

     Whilst I have spent some time looking around on the internet I
     haven't
     managed to find a good diagram of the cooling system, including the
     heater
     system. Is there a good diagram out there?
     And, while on the subject of cooling, do folks typically use
     straight
     outlets from aftermarket (edelbrock) aluminum water pumps for the
     heater
     pipes or are pipes that angle at 45 or 90 degrees preferred.
     I noted that the temperature sender was located at the front of
     5332's
     block, rather than on the swirl tank. But, that hole looks to be a
     good fit
     for the MSD fuel injection temperature sensor. Is there an inherent
     problem
     with having the temperature sender on the swirl tank? Or is there a
     better
     place to put the temperature gauges sender?
