    Well if it were an L67 I would highly suggest a TB coolant bypass simply because rubber hose is much easier to melt through then an aluminum TB causing coolant to spray everywhere like a built in sprinkler system

      DAMN! I never even thought of the coolant lines!

      Damn-it BEN! I want a discount on this potentially dangerous, defective product.

      You can't have it back mind you. I like it too much, but I want DAMAGES before your thingy without the thing-a-majigs ruins my car!

      Have to admit I got a good laugh out of it!

        Maybe that's why Ford's are soo unreliable, cause my 70mm Ford Racing unit has no provisions for that warm liquid in it either.

        doh.

            Oh shit, I don't even have one factory!!! WTF DO I DO?!?!?!?

            Seriously, 94 3100's don't have one.

            LOL @ the comments. Cool your TB from the EGR.... And a carb is not the same thing as a TPI/MPFI/SFI engine...

              LMAO, I live "up here" like a couple of those posters, above the friendly border, I have either never had the coolant TB passage or bypassed it on most of my cars (My current DD a '98 Malibu doesn't deserve the attention ) I've NEVER experianced any freezing or other problems from this.

              The only car I had stick open, and I'm not even sure it would be due to ambiant tempurature was my Mom's 1985 Hyundai Stellar, which was carburated, and under powered.
