I bought my TR3 from Minneapolis and had it moved to Phoenix.  It 
runs about 195F  in town and about 203F on the highway with an 
ambients of 105-110F.  After reading the all the posts on the 
thermostats & water pumps I have several questions.

1.  I want to go in & take a peek to see what type of thermostat I 
have.  Does the TR3 require a special gasket for the thermostat 
housing, or is it a generic one I can pick up at Pep-Boys or the like?

2. Is there some marking on the water pump that would tell me if I a 
higher performance water pump with the Ken Gilanders 6 blade impeller 
model that Fred Thomas mentioned.

3.  Several months ago someone posted an email with a link for a 
description of a small home made scope to feed air to the bottom of 
the radiator.  I lost the info, but am interested in trying to add 
one to my car.

Thanks
