style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans
MS";color:#002060">Fred, I personally believe a
160-deg. F thermostat used in an effort to "cool down" a
Healey is useless. A thermostat responds only to the
temperature of the coolant flowing through it by opening up
to increase coolant flow, and once it is open all the way at
160+, it is out of the loop and can't open further to cool
more. I am on the NC coast where winters are mild. I once
tried a 160 (non-sleeved) because I had one that someone
gave me. My BJ8 ran so cold that winter that I actually had
to block part of the radiator to raise it to anywhere near
normal. Up there in the NC mountains, that would be even
more of a problem for you.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans
MS";color:#002060">I use a 187 F (86 C) New Old Stock
AC sleeved thermostat (AC part number 1572320) that I was
able to score from lister Kees Oudesluijs. I installed it
along with an upgraded core in the radiator at the same
time, so I can't really say how much improvement the
thermostat alone did; but since the modification my car runs
consistently at 170 - 180 in the hot summers of the NC
coast, except when in stop-and-go traffic when it might make
it to 190 or a bit above. In winter, it runs at 160 - 170.
I can see the sleeve operate as the car warms up because
the gauge will cycle between 160 and 190 until coolant
temperature stabilizes. That can take up to 50 miles.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Comic Sans
MS";color:#002060">A friend placed an order later with
Kees for several of the 190 F sleeved thermostats. I got
one of those as a spare. Don't know if he has any left, or
can get more. As far as I know, the only sleeved
thermostats available from the usual suspects are 160s and I
wouldn't waste my money on them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have researched what I can of the
archives and other sources and am still puzzled. I cannot
find any real answers and direction on the question of
which thermostat I should use in my 66 BJ8. Some answers
indicate a sleeved thermostat and others say no sleeve.
Some say a short sleeve and others say only the long
sleeve works. Some answers indicate using a 160 degree
thermostat while others propose 180 degrees and even 190
degrees. Some even say the Moss sleeved thermostat does
not work.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am in North Carolina and drive the
car most of the year. Right now the car has a non sleeved
190 degree thermostat. The car starts and needs to warm
up, at idle, to almost full temp before it runs with no
problems. Otherwise it spits, coughs and has no power.
The car runs at about 190 degres except when I drive the
mountains and of course stop and go traffic.<o:p></o:p></p>
