I drove my car to the show we have at a drive-in rest. on sunday. Guess what happened. The new cheapo T-sat stuck shut & by the time I got there it was at about 240* & it was percolating in the overflow. I let it cool down took it home pulled the T-stat out & it was still stuck shut. I went to the speed shop & bought a Robert Shaw stat today & I'm going to get a new upper hose just because, & I hope this will help. The cheapo one did work fine for about 1 week & stayed right about 165-170 when I took it out about 4 times during the past week & now I'm back. But with this new RS stat & new hose I hope it will work better. I'll see when I go out tomorrow with it. I pulled the fan off as the 19.5 inch fan should be here then too. Crossing my fingers for fix to work.
