<div dir="ltr">Hi Bob -<div><br></div><div>Just remember that the cooling system is meant to work in balance, so increasing the water flow through the system often may not actually reduce temperatures, since the water must flow through the radiator slowly enough to cool down. If you push water through the radiator too fast, you might just end up recycling hot water back into a hot engine. So if you put a pump on the car, I would put a supplementary tandem pump, not one that is meant to work alone.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Alan</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Aug 29, 2022 at 6:43 AM Bob Haskell <<a href="mailto:rchaskell@earthlink.net">rchaskell@earthlink.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<font size="2"><font face="Courier 10 Pitch">Anyone fitted an
electric water pump to replace the mechanical pump? One can go
whole hog with an electric fan, a temperature sensor in the
upper radiator hose and a controller. Takes the place of the
thermostat and the impeller on the mechanical pump.<br>

A bit beyond a Pertronix, but still reversible.<br>
