Got the manifold plate and spacer that goes behind thermostat housing. (this makes plumbing much easier and neater)

Mocked every thing up - had to make a "T" to go in heater hose line, installed the whole setup and had antifreeze pouring out of my plate/manifold gasket.

Remounted plate with a THICK cork/rubber gasket and some MegaBlack gasket sealer, torque the crap out of it (not recommended) - and presto - no leaks!

Unit works great I can already tell a difference, but temps around here aren't cold yet. It's supposed to get down in the 30s Sunday, so that'll be a good test.

Parts all fit as they should, and the folks at Langdon's (including the owner) were VERY helpful!
