Thanks guys,I will check it,I was having a problem with the bracket that holds the line that returns gases...I believe.. to the charcoal filter.It turns everytime I loosen the first(closest to person) nut and bolt,and I don't want to break it,it's aluminum with radiused eges and holding the line whic starts to bend....Well here's a pick...just to the left of the insulated fuel line and at about 7 oclock to the waterneck...are these repro'd if i break it?

For some reason I thought my 78 had a 205 orignally. I run an AC Delco 180 now.

Hey Guys,

What about just simply REMOVING the thermostat altogether, & running the car without one...? It's only on the road in the summer anyway, right...?

I wonder if that might help keep your engine temperature down to a reasonable level...

That nut was bad about freezing up and the stud coming loose before you could get the line off. I have been able to get a thin wrench under the line bracket and hold the stud while breaking the nut loose.
A nut splitter might work if there is enough room to use one.
I think, I would cut the bracket before I would tear the line up, if I couldn't get the nut loose.
It would take some time but you might grind a side off the nut with a Dremel tool and get it loose.

Just caught this thread, hope it's not too late.
