All you need is an Autozone hi flow p/n 15356 160 degree thermostat. PERIOD!

Also, base timing should be adjusted so you have a total timing of 36-38 degrees...with the vacuum advance disconnected and hose plugged.

With a GM factory style shroud, a 7 blade clutch fan, proper timing, and the stat mentioned above you will NEVER have any overheating issues.

Bill, I am definitely saving your post. But I will tell you, I have been running even a little cooler than ever, even in bumper to bumper traffic on Woodward.

Like many of you guys, I took advantage of the beautiful weather and washed my car today. In the middle of cleaning my car, my daughter stopped by and I took a couple of pics of her. Thought you might like some different pics in this thread, instead of motor or car parts.

LACIE SAID SHE WANTED TO POSE SHOWING HER TATTOOS AND MUSCLES...

Picked up a GM hood and trunk lid yesterday and got the wheels for the front today that I ordered yesterday morning off ebay.(talk about fast shipping) Going in the morning to get tires mounted on them.

Fit looks good. Like the wheels.

Drove it to Alabama and back for the Heart Of Dixie Car Show .

And if like my trip...got wet both going to and coming home from the HOD show. ;)

cleaned the bean a bit to take it to a family cookout at the park then decided i couldnt leave the dog behind so i put the cover back on and took the top of the jeep off instead. dog nails and 40 year old vinyl dont mix!

Finally got the new wheels and tires on it and was able to pull it out of the garage.
