  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

  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.

  =20

  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.

  =20

  What is the consensus of thoughts as we approach colder weather?  And =
what are the sources and manufacturer for a good thermostat?

  =20

  Thanks for the help,

  <P class=3DMsoNormal>I have researched what I can of the archives and =

  Some answers indicate a sleeved thermostat and others say no =
sleeve.&nbsp;=20
  Some say a short sleeve and others say only the long sleeve =
works.&nbsp; Some=20
  answers indicate using a 160 degree thermostat while others propose =
180=20

before it=20
