Application
This thermostat housing fits all vehicles with the L-134 'Go Devil' engine as mentioned in the product categories: Willys MB (1941-1945), Ford GPW (1941-1945), CJ-2A (1945-1949), CJ-3A (1948-1953), M38 (1950-1952) and CJ-3B (1953-1964). Also suitable for the Hotchkiss M201.
Installation notes
The elbow mounts directly onto the cylinder head. First fit the thermostat with the retainer/spring, then the gasket, and subsequently secure the thermostat housing with the original bolts. Check that the gasket seals properly to prevent leakage. Connect the upper radiator hose to the outlet of the elbow.
Compatibility
Please note: this is the standard version for the L-134 engine. Not to be confused with the later F-134 'Hurricane' engine used in some CJ-3B and later models. The elbow is identical for both early chain-driven and late gear-driven L-134 engines.
Historical context
The cast thermostat housing was produced by Ford under part number GPW-8250 and by Willys as A-1192. This component remained unchanged in production throughout the entire WWII period and continued into the early civilian CJ models.
