My 302 engine rebuild went well, but I now have a couple other problems:
1) Any reason, related to the new engine install, that my Bennett trim tabs now do not work?
2) I am again running at very cool engine temperatures...below 100 degrees! Just over 100 at idle, and certainly in part due to the cold lake temps right now, but this is still too cool, right? Currently a homemade deflector is in place of the thermostat, should I abandon this and try a thermostat? Do I need some type of additional bypass plumbing to make this alteration?
