Is this some kind of by-pass valve that is thermostatically controlled? I live in Jax, FL so is it necessary? Me thinks get the car running and then see what
oil temp is doing!
Some things can get so darn complicated. Like the distributor gear. Comp Cams tells me I need a Melonized distributor gear for my roller cam. MSD tells me 1/2 the time: "We don't have a melonized gear." and the other 1/2 they tell me part# 8598 has a melonized gear. Ford Racing tech tells me to get a composite gear. Summit sold me a steel Ford Racing gear, they said it had melonizing on it, Ford said it does not. What the ..............!
My brain hurts.
