Skip still doesn't recommend the use of his pumps with thermostats.
I have 330-160 stats and I haven't heard about not using stats if they don't restrict flow. I'm just reporting what works for me.

He tries to bust Skips and Shewmans balls every time someone asks about their products. It's very apparent he don't know what he's talking about. G.M.

I too highly recommend Skip's pumps. I have been running without T-stats and with good airflow and a clean radiator, the temp gauge hangs around 160-165. I might also add that my 46 has been on several long road trips without any issues. Hopefully I haven't jinxed myself saying those kind words about the car!
