Try to find a thermostat gasket for an old car! The thermostat is probably still available & sitting on the shelf of your local independent, Carquest or Napa store, but, at best, you'll have to wait for the gasket to get shipped from a warehouse 6 states away, 'cause nowadays, they need to stock parts for Kia Sephias, Mitsubishi Lancers and Suzuki Esteems!
This is a thermostat/water outlet gasket for 1963 Cadillac V-8. Only 99 cents and 75 cents shipping in the US. You know you will change the stat in your collector car if you plan on keeping it. Under two bucks delivered to your door... you'll burn more than that in gas!
