	For the newbies, and if you missed it, this works perfectly for
street type 
	applications:
	Drill a 1/16" thru the thermostat. (done that---old trick :-)
learned from my engine guru)
	Locate sender as close as possible to thermostat.  Perferably in AL
(ie   
	intake manifold).(did not know that :-))
	Plug P/S bypass hole, behind water pump, with 1/8" Pipe Plug, and
then drill
	  a 1/8" hole thru it. (nother old one)   but good  done that too
	This prevents air from accumulating under the thermostat (espec in
cold   
	weather)  Also putting a petcock on highest point.  I.e. thermostat
housing for bleeding all air completely out of system
	Being in AL quickens the response to temp change (efi related
info.).
	If you want all crazy might try running heater water on full time. 
	Is on full time in my vehicle.
	 But, be 
	sure all ducting closes, any leaks, and the interior if too hot in
warm weather.
	  The "trick is" a stable CT or then the CT corrections come into
play....
	Grumpy
