Re: 1960 TR3 thermostat

>>Why would the thermostat have a problem with 10 PSI if the 10 PSI is
applied 
to both sides of the thermostat?

I suspect that the change was more coincidental with the pressure change.  
Using a more standard, off the shelf thermostat has certain economic and
logistic 
advantages (i.e.: you can buy one anywhere).

As a side observation. My TR3A ran fine without an effective thermostat.
Upon recognizing that the wrong one (short neck) was installed I replaced it
with the proper neck size and pressure. Guess what happened next? A leak
developed in the heater core and in the block spigot! Removed the heater and
replaced the spigot. The 2nd spigot also leaked so just plugged the dang
hole. Now I currently have the correct thermostat (off the shelf ) but no
heater or spigot.
