Gary:

Have you had any reliability issues with the Meziere pump? Also, is yours set up just like a mechanical pump, that is, with a thermostat and electric cooling fan?

One of the previous responders talked about a system with an electric pump and a control unit that would vary pump speed and fan speed to maintain temperatures, with no thermostat. Sounded like it would work well, but also a bit more complex and expensive than I was looking for. Still kicking it around though.

Thanks to all responders!

I'm not, in my ignorance, ready to agree with the "if it ain't broke" crowd as temps over 200 or so, even if only temporary, make me kinda nervous with this older carb'd engine. I don't believe it was built to run that hot. Just MHO.

Cheers
