Thermostat?

I have a '66 428FE with an aluminum intake with two fours. I have been unable to find the correct thermostat. Any ideas?

I'm running a 66 428 with the edelbrock manifold but I don't think the t-stat is any different than the what's used in the original stock manifold. I bought mine at Kragens and the first one they gave me was wrong. I took it back and he showed me that the part number he gave me is what the computer called for. We then looked at the catalog and it showed a different part number. The catalog was correct. I would think just about any parts store ought to be able to find the right one for you. As far as I know there's nothing special about them.

I have a couple of thermostats in the garage that I bought for my 427 and both were just a little bit too small to fit the manifold comfortably. I got a Mr. Gasket thermostat for Chrysler from Summit and it worked fine. A fellow FE owner passed this tip on to me.

There are evidently two different sized thermostats and housings. Thanks for the tip on chrysler for the larger one.
