Modern Thermostat Equivilent?

[1949 Wraith]

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

I just took my old thermostat down to Napa and they matched it up with a new style with the temp I requested.

For my car (52 ply) the 60’s and 70’s style mopar stats fit the housing just fine.

Did it look like this?

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!

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.
