  Nice work Mark. I see you put our old wiggins couplings on the
  water block. The lower hole in the water block was intended
  to take a flush pipe plug so the slide throttle could
  be a bit closer to the engine. Did you have to move the slide
  throttle out? For the new people doing the same thing Jeff
  has a few of these water blocks made.

  Paul,

Yes, I used the old wiggins couplings as a certain somebody won't make any
new ones.  So, I had to reuse the old ones.  I used what I had on hand at
the time in the lower hole until I could get the correct one.  Upper hole is
used for temp sensor.  I had to take the adapter off today because of a
small leak.  Everyone needs to know that there's a special ($8.50/ea) metal
gasket that goes between the thermostat housing adapter and water pump.
  I'll be putting it back together tomorrow.

You did a nice job Mark. I put your pictures up on the web site so people
can see how to do it right.

I think Jeff is real busy with his new NC lathe so he may not have the time.
If I farm them out to somebody else I might have to charge $50 a set. How
many want Wiggins couplings again? Burns stainless charges $100.
