Thanks for the rapid response. I have a parts car I can liberate one from, hoping that it will last at least 10 years. hoping to take a pic of the new to me spring and blow it up so I can get the placement of it clear in my mind. thanks again for all the help CC

how much coolant would I have to let out of the system to remove thermostat housing. I dont want have any of my shop cats gone from drinking the coolant. its a 48 custom with 356 CID. thanks in advance CC WELL think i found the "elusive" overheating problem. never overlook the OBVIOUS. THE CONNECTION AT THE SENDER WAS DISCONNECTED imagine that ive owned the car for over 10 yrs. dont remember doing that. hope thats the answer feel kind of foolish. CRS strikes again CC
