Most are rebuilds. Especially the larger than stock sizes, and the ones from
catalog stores (PAW, Summitt) except for the close-out 302 new block-only.

First, I'd drill a small 1/8 inch hole in the disc. Not sure exactly why,
something to do with getting the gas out, but that's what the "big boy
professional racers" do.
Second, I'd use the Blue permatex silicone sealer, just a light film coat on
both sides of the gasket. You will find it is stick enough to immediately
hold the gasket and thermostat in place while you bolt it on. It also helps
seal the gasketed surfaces, and removes easy when taking it apart later. I
like the 190 F Stant Stainless Steel "Super Stant" for year-round use. Never
quite got why Ford and Sunbeam recommend a seasonal switch.
