PART NUMBER FOR PERKINS THERMOSTAT

[mrdonut12]

John,
I took mine to a NAPA store and they "matched it up".
It looks like a V8 chevy thermostat, pretty standard and
common.
I had my wife look up the invoice and it lists the thermostat
part number as "170", although it was stamped 180....
I took the thermostat housing also to match up a gasket
and their gasket number was 1038-ST.
Hope this helps.
