A Good Morning to all!
After having read responses thus far,
I didn't see a concesus (yes or no) to my original question. The overheating (220F) that I saw while driving the car to storage in the fall, would it have been caused by the bypass? To recap, my 65 LeMans 326 2 spd auto with air (not connected) 2 weeks prior to storage, I flushed the coolant system, trashed my heater core, cleaned the passenger side floor of coolant - for 3 days, replaced the water pump, all hoses, coolant, radiator cap and clamps and, bypassed the heater core, making the connections from the back of the intake to the bottom of the water pump.One guy suggested blocking off both of these connections entirely and no one said that was good or bad. Does anyone have suggestions for me this spring?
