thanks i just went and figured out whats wrong but i still dont know what the thing is called
ok for the radiator theres a radiator tube that leads to the this metal tube (im guessing its a water temp with 5 little ports sticking out of it) and that attaches to the cyl. head i went open it and the gasket was shot so i need a new gasket for that thing but i still dont know whats it called(that metal tube) anyways i checked 4 ag before i even got this car and i didnt find the info that i was looking for |

the thermostat just drops in and a retaining plate with an aluminum tube holds it in place. It should be near the top of the engine. If there is no thermostat, it will run really cool... I'd get one. they are fairly cheap.
