Jim;

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, I'm glad it all worked out, there is nothing worse than going for a drive and having to constantly watch the temp gauge and wonder when will it overheat again.............

I'd be willing to bet on high speed, you could let that thing idle all day long and be o-k temp wise, now, you need to go do a parade and show off the car.

PS: Now that it's all working properly, I'd add some rust inhibitor/lubricant like Prestone and maybe a half gallon of anti-freeze.... Can't hurt and will slow down corrosion inside the block..
