[DeTomaso] FW: Pantera THERMOSTATS??

[Larry Finch]

Something not yet noted in this thread….

The Robert Shaw 333 series is a Cleveland (with the ‘hat’) … high flow … thermostat.

This is, I believe, the style originally used by Ford. 

The readily available thermostats at the parts houses are correct for the Cleveland, but they are not the high flow design.

That feature is what drives the high interest in the Robert Shaw 333 stats, not that they are the only fish in the sea.

Just the only OEM style. And no longer made.

CA owner Marlin Jack, a skilled machinist, is buying the 330 series RS stats (with the same high flow design as the 333 series) to which he installs a machined ‘hat’, thus creating a 333 series stat correct for the Cleveland. On eBay.

Larry - two parts houses stats - left side high flow, right side, not so much
