<DIV>Mike, where do you find them so easily?</DIV>
<DIV>I searched napaonline and they don't list them (I searched for a 1970 Mustang 351C)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm going to order one from FlowKooler unless you know of a common source for the Robertshaw unit.</DIV>

I must say I'm appalled that a Pantera professional wouldn't understand the importance of using a 351C thermostat when you have a standard 351C water pump.<BR><BR>I spoke with a different vendor (who shall remain nameless) in very strong terms when I received a water pipe/hose kit on behalf of an unsuspecting European buyer. He had included a 351W thermostat instead of 351C. I called to find out WTF? He said he doesn't bother selling 351C thermostats because they are 'too hard to find'. I tried to explain that not running a 351C thermostat would cause overheating
(and proper 351C thermostats cost the same and are available anywhere).<BR><BR>His response? "Ah, Panteras always overheat anyway--even if you put a big radiator in the front you can never really get them to cool right".<BR><BR>Well, DUH!? Of course not, if you've handicapped it with a 351W thermostat!!!! He still didn't get it.<BR><BR>I have since laid in a stock of proper RobertShaw 351C thermostats, and when somebody buys a water pipe/hose kit from that guy, when it gets here, I pull out the 351W thermostat (that he still includes) and replace it with a proper 351C unit.<BR><BR>Tara at Hall Pantera was doing the same thing, but to her eternal credit, when I explained why that was a bad thing, she was very thankful, and promised to switch to using 351C thermostats right away--the next time a hose/pipe kit from Hall arrived, sure enough, it had the right one included.<BR><BR>It was still a cheap Stant unit though, and as a matter of
principle I substituted a RobertShaw example after conferring with the buyer. Call me superstitious, but after having suffered two breakdowns in my life due to thermostat failure (in non-351C applications), I have become somewhat of a fanatic about getting the best quality unit you can.<BR><BR>Mike</FONT><FONT color=#000000 size=2 face=Geneva></FONT> </FONT></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica>
