RE Pumps: I always run Skips pumps on my engines - as I like the way he rebuilds them (bearings, not bushings) and his impeller moves a LOT more water than the small straight impellers on original pumps. The engine in my 32 is 284 cubes and I can be stuck in traffic in 90+ degree weather (stop n go stuff) - and it won't overheat. At the Columbus Goodguy's one year I was sitting idling for about 45 minutes . . . and it passed the test with no problems (and that is with a non-pressurized system).
