Have a 250 I6 in my 71. It came with a 292 originally but the person before me swapped out motors for one reason or the other. My question is this, below the thermostat housing is a housing with the temp sending unit and heater hose openings on the passenger side and a 1" 1/4 opening on the other side, that opening has been blocked off. I assume it is a bypass but I can find no where to hook it back into the block. Any pictures or part #'s or anything like that would be helpful. Winter is coming and would like to be able to warm up a little. Not a huge deal since I live in Arizona but would like to get things where they are supposed to be. Thanks for your help.
