: Tim, : I'm using a (I think)Bratton's 160 degree thermostat and would recommend using the 160 degree unit as well. The car runs cooler during the summer and warms up quicker during the winter. In fact it even uses less water than before the termostat. I would recommend the one welded to a statinless steel pipe and then putting a hose clamp around the outside of : your water hose. This will prevent it from moving and it will want to move once the water gets moving. Tim, Rick is right!Thermostats were not originally installed in Model "A's", but it certainly helps to install one now. : The water will find its own level so don't worry when it ridds itself of excess H2o. : That may 2 cents worth |
