Hi Limo Dave,
Start a new post about your car with specific items/pics when you can... Make, year, and info may help.

I too purchased a Cleveland car that was known for having overheating issues. It does seem to have the Windsor thermostat, and parts places that I've looked up and purchased from seem to offer the same Windsor style thermostat as a replacement on the Cleveland!! Did every Cleveland overheat? I can't imagine of the hundreds of thousands of engines produced, that there wasn't a reliable solution. There are a few different thermostat and restrictor washer combinations out there. Not sure which if any are the end-all solution, but the stub on the thermostat should be large enough to plug the hole in the restrictor when at temp. When I get it right, I will be sure to share!!
