    im not running a thermostat in the car right now...i put a 160 degree in and the motor overheated. i tried to screw the temp sending unit into the intake where the 1/4 hole is and the probe for my sending unit wont fit in the hole. the hole looks to be off center and just kinda disformed its really weird i will try to get some pictures but there is a small plug in it as of now

    if your motor overheated with a thermostat, it's because it had air in the system. drill an air bleed hole in a new 180* Tstat to cure that.
