My 1964 cs280 409 v8 doesn'
My 1964 cs280 409 v8 doesn't have a thermostat nor does it have a place for one. The housing on top of the motor is made up of 2 pieces. In the spot where the thermostat would logically go is a 1/2 moon shaped piece of metal that is part of the upper and lower housing. This makes only half the hole size open. Under all of that is where the "automobile thermostat could go but I remember reading in these fourms that it is not suppose to go there. Any ideas I have a service manual but it isn't much help on that. The engine runs cool now that I have all the kinks out of it and that's probably not good either. Ideas??????
