Re: 1950 Packard 288 Auto overheating HELP

The thermostat in this engine is being held in with a spring and I understand there is a metal tube also used for this. Is anyone using the tube instead of the clip on one of these motors?

The spring wire or sleeve thermostat retainers are each particular to the individual type of thermostat housing, not used interchangeably or in conjunction with each other.
