Thank you JMO. The 292 pump i'm using is for a 292,i believe there are 3 different pumps listed for these engines. I have seen pics of 292's w/o this by pass system,so it's a little confusing for me. The pump i'm using has the lower rad hose connection & bolts to the block as normal. only one, maybe 1/2"
female pipe thread opening on the top which i plugged..Stat housing has no provisions for a by pass hose.I'm headed to the bone yard tomorrow maybe i'll get lucky..Bruce.
