I'm sure this topic has been hit before, but the search feature has been frustrating. My 66 coupe is over heating (215F) while normal driving. Is this radiator or something else?

I've been searching for Robert Shaw thermostats everywhere. Where can I buy them?Gummi Bear said:Look into a HIGH QUALITY thermostat. Robertshaw makes the best out there. The cheap-0 Stant thermostat's that you get at vatozone aren't worth the tin they're made from. If you were to test it (immersion in water of a certain temp) often you'll find that they don't function at the prescribed temperature.

Where do you guys with shrouds get em? I bought one from mustang plus that was a bout an inch thick and didn't even fit with my 17" fan. Any big plastic type ones like equipped on newer cars? I know that would help my car in traffic...
