I have an Edelbrock on my Dad's. It seems some guys did a pretty extensive
study on Tiger overheating issues and found the HiPo water pumps were not
so good keeping the Tiger cool at idle, which is an issue I am currently
trying to resolve. Their study is on the TEAE website.

I haven't a clue to where the original one is. :(
