Just want to let everyone know that I installed  a temperature control 
switch (designed for electric fans in water-pumpers) and  it seems to work 
successfully.

I inserted the probe into the opening in  the turkey roaster where the 
summer/winter plate is located, and there is  plenty of clearance between the 
cover and the shroud to tuck the probe inside  the hot air stream.

I secured the capillary tube using a screw from the  oil cooler and a 
washer, coiled it once around that screw, and tucked the  sensor/probe inside.

I am still working on the writeup for the entire  project.  It is taking 
more time than I anticipated, but once it's done I  am more than happy to 
share with everyone.  I'll take some pics as well  to include in the 
documentation.

The temp switch is adustable and I'm  still playing with the best setting.  
One problem is with "hot-starting;"  engine vacuum at start triggers the 
pump, but you don't want any water  injection until AFTER the hot engine has 
started and the idle has  stabilized.  And when hot, the temp switch turns 
everything on.  For  now, I switch off the system from the dash when starting 
the engine hot, then  flip it back on when the idle steadies.  Not a really 
big  deal.

But at least from cold, it's fully automatic and works  wonderfully...Bill
