Default Re: Thermostat - Which One?

I would also like to praise my VP thermostat. Once the housing is installed you can change thermostats if needed without the need to loosen the head bolts. I ran a 160 with a mechanical Stewart Warner gauge using distilled water, water wetter and additional anti rust and it pegged at 160 all the time. I did not like the water appearance for rust so switched to 50/50 antifreeze. With the 50/50 it now goes to 170 operating with my 160 thermostat which may be better anyway. I agree with Herb in the previous post, I think you would be very pleased with the VP setup. Give them a call and discuss their thermostat, I did and they are very happy to discuss the product without any high pressure sales. Ron I would be happy to discuss more about the VP at the next Hawk A meeting.
