There, isn't that better? All it took was please. :) As for the below,
apologies extended. I did not intend to post it to the group, nor did I
intend it to come as harsh as it did. Sometimes civility is lost through
absence of personal proximity, and othertimes through pure ignorance. I
plead both, and am normally a reasonably civilized sort.

You claim to know all you "need" to about cooling systems. I, for one,
learned a lot from the dialogue on the group, including having it
pounded home that an engine is a system, of which every sub-system
affects the whole. Perhaps you need to know more about cooling systems
to see the context within the EFI group.

I believe I do, and I will check. There are many people I don't know,
however, if they have taken a noteworthy place in history by
articulating a worthwhile concept for the first time on record, I have
probably run across a reference, at least to the concept.

Ignorance is not knowing what you are talking about, stupidity is not
realizing it. I realize I don't know you from a hole in the ground, and
hence plead ignorance, not stupidity.

Peace,
Terry
