Re: wrong parts?thermostat & gasket

All SBC thermostats and thermostat gaskets should be the same shape/size basically - as long as it's a SBC thermostat and gasket, should be right.

Re: wrong parts?thermostat & gasket

Every time I punch in that # 35710 at either Auto Zone or O'Reillys auto parts it comes up felpro "O" ring and is not a fit for our cars.
Here's a link to what should fit.

The thermostat appears to be correct for 195*
