[Shotimes] T-stat

[Erik Balser]

I ended up buying a Stant T-stat when the original stuck open.  Doesn't have
jiggle valves and I haven't had any problems with it.  Don't forget to buy
an o-ring for the new t-stat.

> I think the factory thermostats are overrated.  I worked in a garage for
many years and we replaced very few thermostats.  It seems that a high
percentage of SHO's have thermostat failures.  I think you can use a
standard thermostat just fine.  The only problem is that you need the
special O-ring to seal the thermostat housing.  I have been running a
Non-SHO thermostat for longer in my car than the original thermostat lasted.
However I did drill a couple of 1/16" holes in the top of it to let air
through.
