>>>You are exactly right.   You need to double-check to make sure the parts 
counter monkey doesn't try to slip you a 351W unit by mistake.   But 
ordinarily you should have ZERO problems getting a 'regular' 351C thermostat at 
any parts store in the USA.

The Robertshaw thermostats were always reckoned to be 'better'.   When they 
were still being made, they sold for $20-25 each rather than the $8-10 of 
the standard type.   Most people felt it was a good investment, as they will 
last the lifetime of the engine.

But this auction is just ridiculous, playing up on internet forum hysteria 
I think....
