Good Morning all...Just a small point...but a great many Model 'A' Fords do run 160 degree thermostats these days. Many of the engine rebuilders request that the engines use thermostats for the reason that Owen suggests...better, cleaner, longer operation of the engine.

If your water passages are clean and your radiator is clean then pay particular attention to your distributor and vacuum advance...If these two items are not up to snuff, they can cause engines to run warm/hot. Also if your carburetor is not set up properly and the engine is running lean...warm/hot running can happen...Ernie in Arizona
