Where's the dang thermostat?

I bought a 1950 8N, and noticed the coolant circulated as soon as it was started. I reasoned that someone took the thermostat out of it. When I looked where the thermostat is supposed to be, all I see is the water neck sticking out of the head. Is there a thermostat? If not, how does the engine achieve proper operating temperature?

Spanky,

The thermostat goes in your upper radiator hose.

OK, I'm gonna be real confused now. Do you mean there should be a regular automotive thermostat shoved in the hose? Or is the a special kind of part. I went out and squeezed the upper rad hose - no thermostat. Sure would appreciate some additional info

Yeh, but the picture is upside down. The coiled part goes toward the block.

Yer, right. I was looking at my old version of the fO-4 where the picture IS upside down. Doesn't change the comment that the coiled gizmo goes toward the block

Its a unique thermostat peculiar to the 4 cyl ford flathead. it is avaliible at auto parts stores and tsc. I buy mine at auto quest in town (Woodbury Tn.) about 9.95. Tsc has them for about 16.95 and i think there is a couple of page sponsers who have them. Hope this helps. BTW when you put it in, put another hose clamp around it and it will keep it from migrating up the hose towards the radiator.
