I put a Brattons 160 degree thermostat in my 1929 coupe, in the upper hose at the top. It works good, I used to see a lot of light colored oil from moisture in the oil filter when I changed oil. Since I have installed the thermostat the engine warms up quick and no moisture in the oil, I do a lot of short trips and the engine never heated up until I installed it. Engines no matter what kind must get to a certain temp to operate at peak performance and rid itself from condensation.
