Looking at your motor compartment (the hood up naturally), the large black hose (about 2 inches in diameter) will come from the left side of the radiator and go to the top center of the motor. The thermostat housing is at the end of the black hose usually with a clamp on the end. You will need a bucket, screw driver, 7/16 or 1/2 inch socket and handle and possibly a pair of plier's Parts will be a new thermostat and gasket. Looking at the motor from in front of the car (drivers side) look down the side of the radiator to the bottom of it. You will see a petcock, try to twist the petcock 1/4 to 1/2 turn, clockwise. If it will not turn you may have to use the plier's BUT be careful that you do not brake the ears off the petcock. Drain about 1 gallon out. Loosen the bolts at the top of the thermostat housing and remove the housing (keep the hose attached to the housing) Remove the old thermostat ( if it is stuck in place use the screw driver to pry it up, gently) Clean the housing and the housing seat and remove any residue of the old gasket. Its important that you get all the residue off. The thermostat will drop into a recession on the thermostat seat. (the little peak of the thermostat will be up) put the gasket on top and then follow with the housing. (Don't use any sealant) Bolt in by first tightening one bolt then the other. Tighten to about as tight as when you loosened them. Close petcock, fill with radiator water and return cap. Start motor and let car come to operating temp. Look at housing and look for leaks. If there are leaks the primary cause is not cleaning the seat well enough. TATA for now G.
