Beware Chrome Thermostat Housing
One thing led to another, radiator on the coupe had a leak thought do some maintenance. To my surprise my thermostat housing was starting to deteriorate. Granted this is going on its 9th summer, luckily it didn't break. Replaced it with a GM factory die cast.

Wow, amazed it lasted that long and didn't leak...I think every one I had need to be sanded to make them flat enough to seal. They are junk, no doubt.

I have one on my 34, it has a flange that must be 3/8" thick with an "O" ring. When I first put it on it leaked. I surfaced it with some 180 wet/dry paper on a sheet of glass and it's been working fine....so far
