Geez, I don't know. I just go in to my local NAPA and
tell them I want a thermostat for a 1975 spitfire and
they ask "what temperature" and I tell them and they
give me one. The owner of the store said "wow, it's
the same as a chev". I've seen somewhere else that it
is the same as a common chev. If you need the actual
NAPA part #, I could stop by and get the number.
That's not too much of a difficulty. Let me know.
