[DeTomaso] The Water Restrictor Plate Below the Thermostat

[Forest Goodhart]

The plate will keep the T-stat from opening all the way which could lead to overheating.

  See the link below and the description of 2 flavors of restrictor
  plate.  My engine has the solid aluminum plate with the tiny hole.  But
  I have always run the 351C unique thermostat.  My engine has always run
  a bit hot, usually over 200, even on the highway.  I noticed this
  article says "This unit (restrictor plate with the tiny hole) must be
  used in conjunction with a [1]standard thermostat , you cannot use the
  351C unique thermostat with this block off plate."

  Does anyone know if this is true?  Could this be the reason my engine
  runs hot?  Actually my engine currently doesn't run at all due to a
  destroyed rod journal.  My engine is currently out and in pieces, so
  I'm wondering if I should change to the original big-hole restrictor or
  keep the small-hole restrictor and switch to a non-351c standard
  thermostat.
