Related - when I swap in my 235 engine (from 58 car) I don't plan to connect the heater; Can I just plug the two ports in the pump and the T'Stat housing, vs having a hose loop between them?
I seem to recall one post that said at least a loop HAD to be included but that was perhaps related to a 261 engine?
