Just purchased a set of Bob Shewman 180 degree thermostats for my rebuilt 39 81A engine. Presently engine is running too cool. Radiator has been cleaned and block given a good clean so hoping to raise run temps up around 175 to 180.
Pleased i found this post as i was wondering where to locate them. But see to locate at top of hose at inlet to radiator.
Thanks as always for good suppied info.
