Thanks for that info gentleman. I will go with Jim Osborn, because my past experience tells me, most of their labels are correct, and they stock everything I've ever needed.

The rad is all bolted down, hoses are in, and I ready to fill the block with water. I didn't bolt down the therm housing yet, b/c I want to fill it thru that location, rather than just filling the radiator.

Question: I ordered the 2 thermostat housing bolts from Ground-Up, and they sent me black bolts. What would be the correct plating for the thermostat housing bolts for an L-78 aluminum intake. Shouldn't they match the nickle plated intake bolts? or.....

EDIT: Also, is one of the 2 bolts, suppose to be a stud??
