351W bypass hose

Bobcowan, In reply to your solution. I notice that approx. 2" behind the thermostat housing there is a 1/2" stainless bolt. Would this be an alternate sight of hooking the hose to the water pump instead of drilling? When I got this car there was a small piece of heater hose that was capped off at this point. I removed the hose and replaced it with the stainless bolt just to clean up the engine some. If this would work I could avoid drilling. Thanks, Dave

That's normally used for a heater hose port. But you can also use it for a bypass port. Put in a 90* heater hose fitting and run it down to the water pump.

If your water pump has threaded ports, this would be a good place for AN fittings and hose.
