As Bob Howard has pointed out to me, I should explain the PS after my
last mail regarding my errant thermostat. There was actually a healthy
dose of sarcasm there.

All I did was drive the 'B to its resting destination, all the while
being very conscious of what has been pointed out to me. In fact that
the temp. guage most likely would be reading cool while the engine was
feeling pretty darn hot (no thermostat and no blanking plate means that
there probably is not a effective cooling stream of water through the
engine).
I explain this in case it misleads anyone into doing something
unintentionally nasty based on my experience.
Whew... in this litigious world, who knows how much I could have been
sued for that 'expert' advice (unless they know me, and then they
wouldn't DREAM of taken any advice I give).
