For a lil advise a quarter drive with a wiggler 13 mm socket works great to get to the lower bolt on the thermostat and my experience the 180 thermostats work Great over the 192 and 195 thermostats and with a workin vacuum advance at ported vacuum the Ford small blocks come alive nicely from the 289 up to the 351 Windsor just a lil advice for your readers out there and thx for your video
Appreciate it bud, I never thought about using a 1/4 inch drive, I’ll have to remember that. Yeah usually I run the 180 but for some reason this one wasn’t warming up like it’s supposed to so I bumped it up, but I run the 180 in my 76 ford truck 302. You’re absolutely right about that, those small block run like hell when everything is set up right, thanks for the advice and thanks for watching.
@@FastFords289 My pleasure as there's not manny of us True Blue Oval Guys left But Enjoy puttin the jap rice burners in line when needed keep the videos commin and always remember keep the Motocraft oil filter on a Ford cut one apart one time youll see why Quick just a tip only for what its worth till next time Later
@@rogerwatson5995 absolutely bud, for sure. Don’t worry I always run motorcraft and nothing else on my fords, the only way to run. I appreciate it brother, will do, take care.
Thanks for the video my friend. I’m replacing my thermostat in a 63 Ford galaxy. It’s been leaking from the housing. I’m not sure if it’s the O-ring, but I might as well. Just replace it all.
No problem, glad to help, nice car too by the way, always loved those 63,64 galaxies. The original housings didn’t use an oring, they used paper gaskets. I ordered mine off Holly’s website. www.holley.com/products/cooling/water_outlets/parts/2662 Hope this helps, good luck and thanks for watching.
Hey there that's a good trick putting a hole on the top of the thermostat to let the air out when you put antifreeze in! What part number was that for the thermostat housing? Thanks for the video.
I bought the gasket and housing as a set from holley’s website, it’s a Mr gasket brand part#2662. It was about 20 bucks. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
@@jamescipollone7737 you can use either, it won’t hurt it, I use grease and never had an issue, it’s just preference. Thanks for the suggestion, thanks for watching.
Ou, great manual for IT worker as well. Please, where did you buy this perfect gasket? I still have a problem with the classic thin gum. Your is so robust. Thank you.
Well I ordered the whole assembly, housing and gasket off of Holley’s website. Mr gasket brand, part# 2662. It was around 20 dollars, very good unit, works really well, I’ve even had it back off and reinstalled with same oring and never leaks. You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.
HELLO FRIEND, WATCHING YOUR VIDEO OF CHANGE THE THERMOSTAT I FOUND THE O-RING THAT I NEEDED, WHAT I LIKED ON YOUR ENGINE IS THE HOSE THAT GOES FROM THE FUEL PUMP TO THE CARBURETOR, THE CHROME ONE IF YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT WEBSITE I CAN FIND IT ON WHICH WOULD BE FANTASTIC TO PUT IT ON MY 79 FORD TRUCK, AAAA I ALREADY SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR PAGE FROM VENEZUELA
Hey that’s great, I’m glad you liked the video and thanks for being a supporter. The steel braided fuel line is a Mr gasket brand and can find it at most auto parts stores at least over here in the US you can anyway. Summit racing also sales them. www.summitracing.com/parts/mrg-1526 There’s the link to summit racing, hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Oh yeah that’ll definitely hold it there too, there’s different things to use, I’ve even heard of people using spray adhesive to hold them in. I’ve just always used RTV silicone. All depends on preference but all works the same. Thanks for commenting. Thanks for watching.
Unfortunately I couldn’t find just the o ring so I’m not exactly sure if the o ring is sold separately, but you could probably find a couple o ring’s that fit and install in the housing and it should work properly. That’s the link to the whole assembly though, hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
No, none of them came factory with the oring, mine is a Mr gasket brand I ordered off Holly’s website. www.holley.com/products/cooling/water_outlets/parts/2662 Hope this helps. Thanks for watching.
Could i get the part number for the holly thermostat housing i cant find it for the life of me lol! Im picking up a f150 tomorrow woth the widsor, says she over heats after a bit. My i300 just got tboned by drunk driver 💔
Sorry to hear about the accident, it’s a shame you have people drinking and driving around out there without a care for anybody else. Hope you’re doing well, and glad to hear you found another truck, hopefully it’s a great buy and will be at least just as good as your other truck. Hope this helps, stay safe out there. Thanks for watching.

Don’t use grease either lol use Vaseline. Vaseline will break down and turn to nothing not the same with grease

.. i use contact cement to hold the thermostat in the housing, i've had too many slip down on me..
Oh yeah that’ll definitely hold it there too, there’s different things to use, I’ve even heard of people using spray adhesive to hold them in. I’ve just always used RTV silicone. All depends on preference but all works the same. Thanks for commenting.
