You need to run a sleeved thermostat in order to block off the coolant =
bypass that is built into the cylinder head.
There are two available.=20
One is the sleeved bellows type. This one if you are running a higher =
than normal pressure cap will collapse under pressure and close the =
thermostat causing the engine to overheat.
The other is a wax capsule type which is the one that we always use.

Listers,=20
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.
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.
What is the consensus of thoughts as we approach colder weather? And =
what are the sources and manufacturer for a good thermostat?
Thanks for the help,
Fred
