what did you do with the 2 heater lines coming out the waterpump, plug them? I cant get mine to warm up, If I idle 20 minutes it climbs to 180, get on the road and it drops to 110, I have a 195 stat , but a very large 30" 4 core radiator.

I have them blocked now and just like you said the motor stays extremely cool. I too have large radiator and most of the time I dont even have to turn on the fan.

You might try to run a hose between them and see if that helps.

1 wire from the alt to a 470 ohm resistor and then to a switched hot wire. I put the car together.
