Let's talk FE thermostats..
As discussed elsewhere here I'm currently involved in a Cobra cooling system upgrade, larger capacity radiator, a Taurus fan and a wiring harness/controls upgrade too. Up to this point I've been running Robertshaw's performance thermostats. They're marketed under Mr. Gasket, Milodon and several other performance oriented brands. I've had very poor performance with those thermostats. I have drastic temp swings, 180f to 230f. This happens even in cooler weather. I've talked to several other people who've had similar experience with the Robertshaw "cup type" performance thermostats. I'm looking for a hi-flow reliable stat that will provide enough flow to keep my aluminum 482 cool. What's everyone else running? I would also value everyone's thoughts on the subject.
