Default Cooling a sbc 434, machanical or electric

I am running a Griffin radiator, with I think 1.5" outlets, just a guess haven't checked. I believe we have determined that electric pump is the way to go. Now on to the next big ? What distributor to use? Pro comp any good? I need to keep things small, tidy and in budget, the firewall is close. I really want to light her candles.

when he said thermostat he was talking about a switch with a sensor-not a traditional radiator thermostat...


u can use them for other purposes like turning on and off nitrous blankets when the line pressure is to a certain amount
