Vintage Precision thermostat housing
 

I just got my thermostat housing from Casey at Vintage Precision.
I’ll take some pictures when I get it installed and give a review after running it for a few weeks.

You will love it! I have this housing on both of my A's. Check the 2 plugs for a temperature gauge, to make sure they have thread sealant on them. Casey is the son of the designer. You'll be surprised how fast the motor comes up to temperature.

Oh good! I’m sure it will work great. My car does take forever, even here in Florida.

Re: Vintage Precision thermostat housing
 

I have the same item. Works great and I am sure you will love it! Hugh

Re: Vintage Precision thermostat housing
 

guys, I have been running one on all 4 of my A's for years. Quality after market unit... Henry probably would have used one had they been available..

Re: Vintage Precision thermostat housing
 

Always liked the look of those, seems like a high quality item. Will you be plumbing in a bypass hose?

Re: Vintage Precision thermostat housing
 

I have been running one of these for quite a few years. I have a temp gauge on the small port, and use the larger one to feed my heater.

One thing to remember when replacing the Thermostat is that V P uses the Stant manufactured "SuperStat".

The "SuperStat" is a different animal from the standard Stant Thermostat and other brands and is the reason for the way this product works in the Model A!

Re: Vintage Precision thermostat housing
 

Sooooo, What is different about it? I have successfully used other thermostats there and have had no problems.

Re: Vintage Precision thermostat housing
 

The Stant Superstat is designed to reduce cycling. I personally have not used one so can not attest to that.
I use a regular thermostat in the top hose and it works fine. Once open the temperature stays at ~165-170°F most of the time. No cycling.

I will see how it runs just by it self first but I am definitely considering it.

Re: Vintage Precision thermostat housing
 

Thank you for the info! I did not know that but will keep an eye on it when installed.

I just ordered a 2 blade Aluminum fan and Super Leakless pump From Bert’s for the engine as well. I have the 4 blade aftermarket right now but you guys talked me into going back to the 2 blade instead.
I’m no Scientist but a couple of you on here said that the blades are angled just right on those and they push plenty of air as they are

Re: Vintage Precision thermostat housing
 

The car will be at the Billetproof Florida show at Don Garlits shop next month and she should be happy and running just right by then!

Here is explanation of how SuperStat is different.

Hello,


is this intruduced one better than a tube-thermostat? If, why?

Re: Vintage Precision thermostat housing
 

What? No broken ears to contend with?

How can one be a Model A owner and not broken his ears?

Kidding of course. Ford design was a "work in progress" as evidenced by the three bolt Model B water-pump.

Less broken = more happy driving hours! Ha ha
