I read the article about the hot "Tiger" and first thing - it says the "hot idle" speed is 850/950 rpm. My Y isn't set-up that way, I'd have to run the idle up and let it slam into gear when shifted from neutral / park. Ain't apples and apples............even with the smallest pulley my water pump still isn't turning the rev's they've got on the crank.
There is a NAPA t-stat that has the 1.5 poppet and 170º open temp. Is it #6 or #7? What you want to avoid is the two inch diameter sheet metal disc with the 1.0 inch poppet.

That's true, I myself find a good deal at times on Ebay. But I like to compare prices on Ebay and parts houses and go from there. And you are right, their are people on Ebay that really price their stuff way too high compared to what you can get it for locally. So bottom line it pays to shop around for the deals.

People keep saying what ripoff ebay is. It's not ebay, it's the sellers on ebay. And there are deals on ebay if you know what your looking for and don't go overboard. You heard the old axiom - "There's a sucker born every minute"

It's amazing what a rip off epay is when a thermostat at Napa here in Asheville is around $6 plus tax. Does not include gasket thou.

I use NAPA part # 191 180 degrees made in the USA and they work great. I take it out of the box before I buy it and push it open with my fingers, if it's smooth it's mine if it's rough try another.

So your saying its an option to run stock pump, high flow thermostat, and change pump pully to smaller diameter to increase flow? I noticed on some of the reviews of the Mr. Gasket pump, guys noted higher tempretures. That must be what this artlice is talking about with the different desgin and high flow pumps?
Darrell, before you change the pump pulley size or consider a high volume pump read this article. Not about Y blocks but does include a fair amount of research on engine cooling. They found and others on this site have found that substantially increasing flow in the cooling system can reduce cooling rather than increase it.
