So what is your conclusion? The electric or the belt driven one? I am
still contemplating going back the the electric or a new one. Biggest
problem I had - no room between the nose of the pulley on the waterpump
and the rad to maake it a "puller" design. I think that would help a lot.
If I can make sure what temp the gauge is actually reading.
