First off what temperature is the thermostat you are using marked .?? ??it's 
usually stamped somewhere on the thermostat .????That would be a start.?? 
????From what you are describing it sounds like the thermostat is cycling as it 
is supposed to do.?? Getting up to the opening temperature range and if it's 
cooling too much closing until it becomes back up to the thermostat's opening 
temperature range again.?? ??All that said , it sounds like you have a 
thermostat that has an opening temperature range that is too high for your car 
in your climate.????Personally i have one in my bugeye that is probably the 
lowest I've seen , 165?? for it's intended opening temperature.?? Now my bugeye 
has a nationals level ( F Production) 1275 with a bone stock original 
radiator.?? ??It was how I had it assembled years before all the modern options 
for cooling systems and I did take it to shows that favored period looking 
cars.?? No options for alloy radiators .All the bla-bla-bla aside , Mike please 
let us know what range thermostat you are using.?? It sounds ( guessing here?) 
You are running a 195?? one or posdibly hotter.ChuckNow back to the Midget 
project.Sent from my LG Mobile------ Original message------From: Michael

Spridgets;Cc: Subject:[Spridgets] ThermostatThe cooler weather is coming, even 
here is Southern California.?? I think my thermostat is acting up because the 
car will run cool for a while and then it will overheat a little.?? All of a 
sudden it is running cool again.?? I just pulled the engine to swap 
transmissions and of course there are a few easy to deal with issues, but 
overheating is one that was not there prior to swapping trans missions. What 
temp thermostat should I put in my 1275 Bugeye??? Is the sliding sleeve type 
worth the money?Mike MacLean
