If you find that installing a high flow stat cures your problems, I am very
happy for you,,,,,, but I can testify that after about 50 years of driving
mopars, everything from slant 6s to maxwedge 440 that the stock cooling system
when in proper working order is sufficient to cool the engines, and unless you
have a very odd engine factor, or driving habits, that the problem with
cooling is a problem with your stock parts being worn or partially plugged, or
wrong fan size, shrouding, or spacing,,,,,,
Added note,,,,,
if you do have a high volume water pump, you
should also use a high flow stat, as there may be a problem with the stock stat
opening with the added pressure from the pump, keep in mind, that the high flow
pumps also rob horsepower from you as well,,,,,,,,

I agree,
I really like the Milodon high flow thermostats. I was
having
trouible cooling and talked to an old timer in a radiator shop,
the first
thing he wanted to know was what themostat I was using and
told me to throw
away my standard and get a high flow. They may not
fix an overheating
problem but they are part of the solution.
