Run without the T-Stat?
My 79 SP has been running about half of on the temp guage. I just put in an E-Fan today and it did not help. I have been thinking about just taking out the T-Stat. Anyone run with out one?

Do not run without the thermostat. The thermostat provides backpressure in the cooling system which helps the transfer of heat from the engine to the coolant. It will also leave the bypass hole open which means hot coolant will be constantly recycling through the engine.
