Does anyone know where you can buy a new double acting thermostat for a 261 engine I have tried in the U.S apparently these keep the engine from develeping hot spots which they say can fry your engine. the one I have doesnt seem to work so I stuck a thermostat from chey 350 and drove around for a while . But...

I've replaced the upper bearing in the 65 column, and there is at least 1/8 of up and down play in the wheel now. Looking at the shaft as it passes up through the bearing, it's tight on the inner race, the outer race is seated in the switch housing solid as well. The bearing is super sloppy between the races....

I probably already know the answer, but are the B, F41 big front bar brackets the same as the smaller bar? Yes, all good....If no, does anyone have an old pair of bigger ones? Also, is the bigger bushing a readily available part? Thanks, Mark
