With reference to Steve=E2=80=99s email, below.
I have bought one of the theremostats.
There may still be two remaining. Seems to be a good price.
I will buy the two of them =E2=80=93 if still poss =E2=80=93 and will =
send them both to a single address, anywhere. All to be reimbursed, at =
cost, by PayPal.
Off to Spain for a few days tomorrow, so better get moving?! Back next =
Tuesday.=20
Don=E2=80=99t know if these things sell quickly or not.
Up to you guys.

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.
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.
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.
I just Googled the AC part number and came up with this source:
https://tinyurl.com/y9c6n53h
Unfortunately, it does not post to the USA (but on the bright side, it =
offers free shipping!). Maybe you could work out a deal with a UK =
lister to buy one for you and ship it to you. =C2=A319.99 =3D $26.04=20
