Doc Hubler Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Need a part number for the modern equivalent thermostat for the 228 6 cyl engine, 1942 DeSoto. Took the radiator in for repair and the heater core. Has to drill out the rivets to get the heater core out of the little box attached to the fan/squirrel cage portion of the heater. Looks like those are painted with spackled paint, essentially the same as what the 1941-47 Chevy truck interiors were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ply33 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Assuming, with Chrysler's typical use of the same part across all makes where possible, that it is the same as for Plymouth then look at the NAPA THM 55 thermostat and see it it will work. It does look different than the original but is supposed to work with the bypass type thermostat housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Hubler Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Thanks ply33! I should put a picture on here just to be sure we are talking the same thing. There is a bypass that goes to the heater. joined by tubing, it is separate from the main thermostat housing; but I'll check into the part number.

frankngin Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Along time ago NAPA had a book you could look threw and find what you needed. IF you can find a dealer that still has the book offer to buy it from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
