There are two ways to 'eliminate' the heater core
water circuit. One is to bypass and the other is to plug. Either
method works just fine with no ill effects on the engine or thermostats or
cooling.
So there is no need for you to worry at all.
What you did was fine.

Thanks Roger, I could run a hose from the outlet to
the inlet, but they are so close together that it would probably crimp the
hose, unless I used a long piece and ran it around the air cleaner. I was also
wondering where the thermostat is, and am I by passing it by not going through
the heater core? The car is running at normal temperature, stays at 190
degrees during freeway travel, and goes up to about 200 in city
traffic. Bill '59 Crown
