well the 195 stats was all we could find a listing for , as the engine is a 427 tall deck running that huge cast manifold with dual stats , I have often wandered if the dual stats were letting the coolant pass way to fast to displace the heat , thought of spot welding one stat shut and try it idling and see what it does , worst case is it costs me time , and what $5 for a new thermostat I guess , any thoughts there ??
