Metman Grease Monkey Registered: 05/19/03 Posts: 30 Loc: Mobile, AL	I have two 32 engines. One of the engines has an adapter between the outlet and the head but the other one does not. Does anybody know what this is for , possibly the thermostat ? . Thanks _________________________ metman

Metman Grease Monkey Registered: 05/19/03 Posts: 30 Loc: Mobile, AL	JunkYardDog, I do have a heater installed so do I need the thermostat to make the engine heat up faster so it won't take forever before hot air blows. _________________________ metman

Junkyard Dog Registered: 11/23/01 Posts: 20032 Loc: Eagle Point, Oregon	Yep! And, with the heater installed a special two-piece outlet with a by-pass valve was used instead of the thermostat spacer mentioned above. Check your September, 1931 issue of the Chevrolet Service News and it will tell you all about it. The Filling Station has reprints available if you don't have a set of Service News for 1931 or 1932. $\:D$ $\:D$ $\:D$ _________________________ The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"
