Did the thermostat you used have a small hole in it? If not, then drill a 1/8" hole in it to help burb the air out..... 1937 Chevy Pickup In the Gallery 1952 Chevy Panel In the Gallery More photos 1950 Chevy Coupe Pictures! I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd. I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you
