Only took me 21 years to notice. I haven't done all the work on the car, but still.
Don't know when or why it was removed. But, today as I was adjusting my valves I looked down where it should be and there is nothing there. The hardware is gone, no pulley and the cable was cut at the shaft connecting the flaps. The car has never run hot as far as I could tell. Head temps max at about 320 as I remember. I think I'm going to replace it. So what do you think? Dave |

I would for the NW. Quickly getting to operating temps is much easier on the motor. My dad installed a thermostat backwards killed the motor on a Ford truck.
I do have a set up if you want it. Geoff |

Brad Roberts Yep. Install it. Faster warm ups is a good thing.
