I remember reading about your Fairlane and its overheating problems which you blamed on Ford for supplying you a wrong thermostat?(Single acting?)
Well today I went and picked up a genuine Ford Thermostat for my ED and the guy at the counter said "This may look a little different than the one thats in the car, it wont have an extra bottom bit, its because Ford changed them to solve the continuous up/down movment of the temperature(guage) that the 6cyl Falcons have"
Ive noticed my ED's temp guage does go up and down quite often during just normal driving so I knew what he was talking about.
But my old EA never had this problem, and it had an 'aftermarket' dual acting thermostat which I installed.
So should I take back this single acting thermostat(its not installed yet) and get my money back and instead install a proper dual acting one? Perhaps the same brand as my what my EA had?
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have, or anyone else!
