<p>Slightly OT, but I think we owe Moss--in particular, Michael
Grant, who I believe writes most of them--some gratitude for
producing these tech tip docs. They have really helped me out
several times; I just found one that explains an ingenious--one of
those techniques that has you slapping your forehead because you
didn't think of it--way to set the 'steady posts' in drum brakes
correctly.</p>
<p>If you make a phone order from Moss you might mention how helpful
they are, so they keep them coming.<br>

<div>With the bellows type thermostat, your car will definitely
heat up faster and run cooler, but the bellows type isn't
ideal because when it fails, it fails in the closed position.<br>
<br>
Here's a good article explaining which type you want. Moss
434-155 is a better unit, but only available in 160 deg (I
think). For six cylinder cars 160 deg thermostat is good
enough for most climates south of the mason dixon line.<br>

my AH 3000 engine back together and went looking for
a recommendation for the engine thermostat. I was
expecting to find a recommendation for the opening
temperature but instead found information that
recommends a bellows type thermostat should be used
and the bellows is important or some of the coolant
can bypass the radiator when the thermostat opens.
If a bellows type thermostat is recommended is the
correct type either the Smiths 85025 series or the
AC Delco TF series? Is there a modern replacement
bellows type thermostat that fails in the open
