Yeah, I like doing everything the hard way apparently. Today I tested the idea of using the Thermostat 1/2" NPT port that goes to the heater with my bi-metal 230 degree switch. Any time you do that, the fan's airstream running across the new fittings cause things to cool down too fast. I think at least I was able to prove once and for all that using the engines water stream to solve the problem isn't going to work. If it weren't for the mechanical gauge needing the Head Port, this wouldnt be an issue, but I feel very good about our next Idea... using a Lug Type Thermistor and associated circuit. Just another wait and see away from success I think. The site is updated to include the last test failure.
