Thanks guys, just wanted to be sure I was on the right track :icon_tongue:...Of one more thing, I'll still have heat if I don't have a thermostat right ??? Could not even add one if I wanted to. Mexican blocks don't have the threaded hole as they discontinued instaling thermostats on Mexican Beetles
