[DeTomaso] Water pump options

[Thomas Tornblom]

I'm very happy with my Edelbrock pump.

It has the proper Cleveland bypass, which the Milodon and probably some 
others don't have. The relevance of this is whether you have and use the 
Cleveland specific bypass plate and thermostat. With the Milodon pump 
you can use a Windsor style thermostat if you wish, but most seem to 
agree that this is a bad idea on a Cleveland.
