Rebuilt my '56/235 that's in my '53/6100 after putting everything back together I decided to replace the thermostat.
When I lit the candles and let it warm up,SUPRISE it over heated.
I decided to put the old one back in and it worked.I took the one back,because what they sold me was a 190 degree.So be sure to check the parts you buy before you install them.
Felt like a fool!!!

Be careful calling yourself a expert,because an "EX" is a hasbeen and a"SPERT" is a drip under pressure.

About 1 in 5 new therms. we get now are defective. I don't replace one any more for preventive maintenence. I've talked to other mechanics that feel the same way. The 190 didn't matter that much. It was probably defective.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
