Thanks all for he opinions. I believe my higher temps with bellows thermost=
at was due to higher pressure rad cap. Instructions said not over 4 psi fo=
r cap with bellows or it compresses bellows. I tested the temp sender and i=
t is good. Decided on Installing a 160 newer version thermostat and see wh=
at it does. My temp runs just over 185 in 70 degree weather today in FL. W=
ill see how it does and possibly add a plug with small hole later and test a=
gain. =20
