I have some quesitions about installing (previous
owner evidently though it did not need one) a
thermostat in my 1948 Front Mount 8N.
Question one: Orientation of the thermostat
relative to the engine. Put "small end", "wax
pellet", etc., end closest to the engine,
statement is ambiguous when someone does not know
which "end" is the small end (the end inside the
tube can be interpreted as "the small end"), or
what the "end with the wax pellet", is. So, to
clarify, is the orientation of the thermostat as
per my picture correct?
Question two: How far into the hose does the
thermostat fit? Is it important how far in it
goes?, what stops it from going in too far. I
have changed several thermostats over the years,
but they always butted into a recess and were held
on by the thermostat housings. So, I do not have
a reference from which to draw. Please explain
it.
