[Healeys] Thermostat?

[BJ8 Healeys]

My BJ8 has been running higher on the temp gauge than I would like and I had
never tried the sleeved thermostat, so I recently purchased a NOS AC Delco
bellows thermostat with the sleeve (187 deg. F).  I was truly disappointed
that the new thermostat made absolutely no difference in the running
temperature compared with the non-sleeved thermostat (180 deg. F).  The car
still approaches 212 deg. F as it did before.  Of course, it's been pretty
hot around here this summer.

No, I never have tried using a thermostat without a sleeve.
