Thermostat is a mechanical device that reacts to heat. As heat is applied the thermostat contracts and allows water to flow through the system. A thermistor is a thermal resistance sensor that also reacts to heat. There are two kinds, one is a negative coefficient and is a positive coefficient. As heat increases it changes the resistance value of the thermistor. That resistance value is transmitted to the computer and/or temperature gauge. Through computation the computer can can tell what temperature the engine is at to make decisions on how it should be run.

ARE YOUR FANS COMING ON? If they aren't coming on, it could be the thermister in the thermostat housing, a blown relay, bad fan motors or wiring OR the thermistor (not the thermostat).

How do you tell the difference between the 351w and the 351c?
The way I tell the difference is the engine thermostat location : On the Cleveland it is mounted horizontally by the distributor and on the Windsor the thermostat is mounted vertically in the end of the intake manifold
What is the difference between on and auto on a home thermostat?
On will turn the fan or blower on continuously and auto setting will kick off and on according to the temperature setting on the thermostat.
What is the name of the instrument called that measures tempure?
A thermometer or thermister

Thermister By GOVIND SINGH SHEKHAWAT
On pneumatic thermostat what is the difference between direct acting and reverse acting?
A Direct Acting (DA) pneumatic thermostat increases branch line pressure as temperature increases. A Reverse Acting (RA) pneumatic thermostat decreases branch line pressure as temperature increases.
