Hello everyone, I'm building an engine for my girlfriends ' 61 Bug and am
wondering about the thermostat.  I'd like to NOT install it at all and wire
the cooling flaps into an "always open" position.  I'm taking out the heat
exchangers and running J-tubes so not having a heater is obvious.  I did this
with my Type III engine, wiring the cooling flaps open but I'm just want to
get some advice for doing this with a Type I.  It's not driven much in the
winter although the winters can be cold (Eastern Washington). Thanks for the
input.....
