I'll address 2 issues,

1. Thermostats:

The thermostats in the pictures posted by Bill & Dave do have a "plug" that extends downward to block the hole in the recirc orifice pressed into the Cleveland block below the thermostat. This is definitely a better choice than a "Windsor" thermotat. However, the OEM Cleveland thermostat was a high flow thermostat, identical to the Robertshaw thermostat. I have assumed that Robertshaw actually manufactured the OEM Ford thermostats, I truly mean they are identicle.

One of the issues with the Pantera's cooling system is insufficient coolant flow, so it makes sense to use parts that will increase coolant flow whenever possible, and to avoid using parts that would decrease coolant flow.

So if I'm going to make a recommendation on the internet, I'm going to recommend the best option available. The Robertshaw thermostat is a high flow thermostat identicle to the OEM thermostat, it is the best choice when purchasing a thermostat for your Pantera.

2. Doing business with Flow Kooler

I had difficulties with the new owner of Flow Kooler on a businessman to businessman level last year. I am leary of the man's motives. I would prefer to send business elsewhere when possible. That's all I am prepared to write.
