Hey Hudnuts,

So I noticed my water pump was dripping, bummer. Decided I better change out the pump. Went to the 'extra parts cabinet' and pulled out my rebuilt pump....Oh Oh

Its a non bypass type and I have a bypass type on my car! :confused:

SO..wondering if someone has a rebuilt bypass type they want to trade for a rebuilt non bypass type? :D

Thanks all,

T Jeff

    You could also look for a non-bypass type neck, to bolt to your cylinder head. Then the pump would work!

    Jon has the best idea. This was one of the tech sessions at the National meet you can pick-up a 1938 -1947 neck that is already recessed cut and use a modern thermostat, i did and it works great in my 37. Chuck G.

    Hey Chuck and Jon,

    Ok so what t-stat would I run? Also and advantage or disadvantage to not having the bypass?

    I am currently running a 155' t-stat and seems to be Ok so far...

    or would just eliminating the t stat be better for overall cooling?

    Thanks,

    T Jeff

    You can run a stat you can buy at any auto parts store. Its alittle hard to find a bypass stat and they have not been made for a long time, most you find are no good anyway and they want as much for a old stat as you can buy a new one . I think i have a 160 in my car, a parts store will match youone of the right diameter to fit the recess in the housing. Chuck G.
