Sending the coolant through the radiator faster won’t necessarily cool it any better either. They introduced the larger diameter water pump pulley to slow down the flow on higher revving engines

There was a 'thermostat blanking tube', it's a stepped brass tube to replace the thermostat on race cars. I have one but not used it.
Perhaps that's what this is...
