Thanks skip,sorry for my confused wording,i did have coolant in the radiator,i got the t-stat in and messed around filling it up a little at a time , i never heard the fan come on although the temp was around normal, i jiggled the sensor wire again, and as someone had mentioned the wire to the sensor was just riding on the nipple of the sensor so i crimped it a little and waited,then it came on!!!!
And i really appreciate all of you helping me out.
I am gonna do the bypass as you diagrammed because i dont want a blown head gasket or worse / thanks for the time and diagram , i got a little more familiar under my hood today
