1949 Wraith Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Is there a modern equivilent 160 degree thermostat for 1952 Canadian long block 218? I put in a nice NOS unit off of Ebay, which does not function. I would prefer not to go that route again. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59bisquik Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 I just took my old thermostat down to Napa and they matched it up with a new style with the temp I requested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dartgame Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 For my car (52 ply) the 60’s and 70’s style mopar stats fit the housing just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59bisquik Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 What was left of it looked something like that. Now it runs a late 60's or 70's stock mopar thermostat. Cheap and easy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desotodav Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I run a Milodon high-flow 160 thermostat in the 218 long block of my 52 truck and have never had any issues with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
