<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></P>

<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><BR><A

face=Arial>I am in the process of putting 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
position?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
