I have been told by many to drill a 1/8" hole at the upper edge of the thermostat before placing it in the housing to alleviate the initial pressure. However, the new one I purchased does not have a hole and I cannot find a thermostat for a 73' 302 anywhere with a pre-drilled hole. There are also no mention of drilling a hole in any of the old repair manuals for the car
Is this recommended? If the hole is drilled, what are the consequences?
Thanks, :thankyouyellow:
