What is the little water passage at the front of the water crossover for. I am cutting the crossover off and wanted to know if I could just weld it up so it doesn't leak.

If you run a restrictor, then block it off. Or you can drill 3/16th" holes around the thermostat plate for un-interupted flow.

I've been blocking it off for 10 yrs running.
Cam bolt, and a nut..from 4-bolt stud kit, or your favorite 1/2" Lug nut. Wett the assembly with Silicone sealer while installing and tighter. No leaks. I do not run a thermostat. When this bypass is blocked. You cannot run the thermostat....Like the Dude said "restrictor plate". ..I do not run a restrictor plate either. Car does not overheat. Underheat is not likely at 4hours continuous duty at peak torque [highway] or brief 500HP WOT runs [1/4mile]. A properly connected radiator overflow catch-can system is key. Certainly, all the folks here have this jug hooked up.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
