Best Answer

From the radiator follow the top hose to the engine. It will connect to fitting that is about 8 inches long with a rounded end on it as it bolts into the engine. THis is the cover for the thermostat. Remove a couple of vacuum hoses to gain access to the nuts, and remove them. Lift the whole thing off and tuck it to the side. You should see the thermostat. Remove it and then clean the area prior to insalling the new on. Orient the new one the same way the old one was and reinstall in reverse order.
