I have a sleeved thermostat & it seems to be working properly. According
to the Moss catalog there are two versions of this stat. Both are 160
degree. One is for 4 to 7 Lb. radiator caps, as original. The other is for
modified systems using caps rated for over 7 Lbs. I think I have the later,
even
though I have a 7 Lb. cap. I thought I might put a higher pressure cap on
if I have over heating problems. So far, I haven't need to do this.

I wanted to give some feedback on the thermostat/ heating issue. I pulled
the sleaved thermostat and tested it in a pot of water. While it did
start
opening at 160, it was not fully open till about 185 and the opening is
limited.
I put in a modern Stant themostat and the car runs cooler. I think the
sleaved model was restricting flow.
