Don't quote me on it, but I believe i've read he dropped the "balanced flow/restrictor" scheme....

The balanced flow pump for the 2000 model year does not come with the 1/4" restricted bypass fitting as this is not a stock item. This is for the dual thermo crossover setup and has to be added. I got my restrictor from Bill Heath at the same time as I put on the low temp spin on fan clutch to go with the 2000 pump. This was just this past fall.
BJ, I think you may be thinking of Heath's prior system that he dropped for this restrictor fitting and balanced flow pump.

Hmmm, you're probably right. I've never had overheat problems so haven't had to look to deep into it...

The dealership actually carries that restrictor item and when I went by they mentioned it and they must have some tech bulletin telling them certain vehicles it must be changed on.
Unfortunately their pricing on water pumps is outrageous.

Interesting about that restrictor. I was under the impression that it was a Heath thing.
As far as the stealership, aren't their prices for most anything outrageous?

OK educate me. Whats this restrictor? where does it go? Will I need it? I just bought everything else to do the conversion

It is the bypass nipple fitting that threads into the water pump, outputs into the thermostat housing. If you have a single T-stat that has the bypass blockoff then the restrictor fitting is not necessary. Its only necessary for the dual tstat housing xover.
