Howard,
I run a Renegade cooling system and have had overheating issues along the way. Most were due to problems caused by myself. I'll post some pics of my system and be glad to share what I have learned the last year and a half. First pic is of water sender location. I actually run two gauges. The two brass fittings are my temperature monitor points. Since the water from pump is routed into block, to heads and then to intake prior to moving back to radiator, the intake is the preferred location of sender. John Attached image(s) |

QUOTE(John2kx @ Mar 7 2004, 06:16 AM) This is the thermostat of choice from what I have used. Note the 1/8" bleed hole. This will allow removal of air when filling system as well as protect water pump impeller from damage while thermostat is closed. Note: I drill three of these 1/8" holes in mine and use a 180F. Available through Jeggs or Summit. t/s.http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/pors-chev/vwp?.dir=/66+912+V-8&.src=gr&.dnm=HighFlowTstat.gif&.view=t&.done=http%3a//photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/pors-chev/lst%3f%26.dir=/66%2b912%2bV-8%26.src=gr%26.view=t John John is this the photo you wanted.
