Default Robertshaw thermostat

FYI for my fellow members.
It was suggested by fellow members to buy a Robertshaw thermostat for my 69 BB.
Sources suggested did not carry them.
Here is a place where they are available.
FLOWKOOLER
500 Linne Road, Unit 2
Paso Robles, CA 93446
805-239-2501

I ordered one today, I hope it is the ticket.
Thanks for everyone's input

Don't expect it to a "miracle" cure for overheating

I would have to read about RobertShaw, But I use Stant High flow around 190 or 192 Quicker warm up and then higher flow when it is open.

I don't think the brand is really relevant, so much as the design of the balanced flow thermostat. That is where the benefit comes from.
Some reading on the balanced flow vs standard thermostat that you might find interesting.
