Hey HotRod!

Glad to hear you FINALLY got that head gasket changed out...LOL! Maybe now we can meet up at a show and talk Packards.

The thermostat I am using is from Autozone. Is it a 180 degree, which it shows as being the OE recommended temp. Not sure how long I am going to keep that one on there, seeing as how it is hitting nearly 100 degrees here everyday, and humid to boot.

Here is the link to those thermostats:http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/1952-Packard-200/Thermostat/_/N-j3k31Z8gctr?filterByKeyWord=thermostat&fromString=search

P.S.

Ross's Suggestion of using a coat hanger is the way to go. You can bend yourself something that looks and functions just as good as what you would be paying $10 for. Oh, and I also upgraded to that thermostat housing you sent me, mine was restrictive, and leaking,

Thank you & good luck,
