Does an eV-8 require two thermostats?

Re: thermostats
Yep, there are two totally separate cooling systems except for internal to the radiator.

Re: thermostats
And each side needs a 170 degree thermostat made for a subaru. Put them in last week and I have never seen such fast warm-up and steady temps. The napa part # is in my shop.

Re: thermostats
Thanks, guys....I see that the one pictured on the NAPA site has a rubber grommet around its circumference where as the one on eBay does not....

Thanks guys. MY '39 Peekup had only the right on. No wonder it always wanted to turn left!

This is the best thermostat that I have found for year 'round, all temperature, all altitude use: the Stant 14157. The one I used I bought from O'Reilly as their part # 2962 that was in a Murray box # 4157 but it's the same as the NAPA # THM 111 and the Stant # 14157. All the same stat manufactured by the same manufacturer for a 1990 Subaru Justy.

Re: thermostats
One of the many reasons I love the net as it pertains to the auto world. Who'd a thunk it? Subaru stats in a flathead v8..... My steel pipes pretty much meet against the outlets on the heads keeping the thermostats from rising up. My napa only had about 8" piece of hose so I cut it into four short pieces. And Henry, I love the look of your engine compartment and some may say you need to upgrade your wires etc., but as my physics teacher used to say..." The proof of the pudding is in the eating".

Re: thermostats
Thanks. Where do the safety wires go: drilled holes in the head?

Re: thermostats
Clem,
I was able to put stats on my 45 truck without the Henry wire system. I got Stant stats from one of the suppliers. For my 39, I am trying Bob Shewman's stats that go up in the top hoses. All have worked well so far, although the passenger side cylinder bank on my 45 truck warms up pretty high before cooling down, even with new stats, so I am not sure what is up with that. |

Re: thermostats
Thanks. I have some new ones coming from NAPA. The old ones were well down in the hose and sideways.
