Default Here is a picture....

This is the plumber's nightmare I adapted on my 261 to allow the use of a modern Princess auto temp guage to the 261 block.

Since that picture was taken the 1/4 turn valve has been removed and a proper 3/8 copper tube with heat shield has been added...... the valve was just an experiment to see what would happen if the engine was run and the valve closed...... interesting to see all the air/bubbles froth that came out towards the radiator when the engine had been running for a few minutes..... a lot of air seems to build up inside the head..... which convinced me that the tube should be open and allowed to flow all the time to prevent air pockets.

I will have pictures of the infamous large original steel fitting that was installed on 216 CMP engines tomorrow......

Keep warm..... 'tis colder than a mother-in-law's heart tonight.
