the thermostat housing is leaking on my '54 M37 (251 cid). I pull it apart and there is this bell shaped(more like a toilet plunger) brass pedestal that fits perfectly in the thermostat housing. A typical '70s style chevy thermostat is lightly press fit in the top of it. A 1/4" thick viton round seal with a 3/4" hole in it sits on top of that between the top of the T-stat and the inside of the housing, sealing it. Now my manual just shows a thermostat and gasket.Am I detecting a SHT (stupid human trick)here? If so, could somebody give me the part #s for a 180 F thermostat and gasket? Thanks kindly, Ron
