Ask, Tyler what can happen when you run a 20+ year old Thermostat ! ! ! I have run my 86 for 10 years with just the Thermostat housing&gasket with no valve . I simply give it more time to warm up before ripping it up ! Oh yea....... B.T.W. the temperature gauges do work when the temperature gets up around........ lets say....... 200 plus degress F !

I've raced mine for 17 years with No Thermostat and have never had a problem!

yes luckily i realized the stuck thermostat just in time and was able to bring it home on the trailer... gut your thermostats, mine almost caused me a complete mess.... it amazing how fast the temp. can rise when there is no water flowing through the motor

I am pretty sure that a thermostat was what caused my engine to melt down too. Except my temp gauge didn't even go up before the engine was toast.
