Things you have to consider at this point:
1). Do you want to remove the auxiliary thermostat from the car?
2). Or do it insitu?
Looking at the above picture, the thermostat (slide valve) is shown at the left side and the pressure relief valve is at the right side. Most of the time, the failure mode was caused by the slide valve (thermostat). And have not encountered one with a bad pressure valve.

Tony - I am overhauling the entire oil system (except for the engine thermostat). I have it all disassembled and apart as I was also fixing some crushed oil lines and put on a 28 row brass cooler on the front.
I figured it was only fair that I give the thermostat a rebuild considering its all 34+ year old stuff.
Thanks for the picture. I ordered all the stuff from Pelican. I figured since I have it all apart - I might as well do it now.
Thanks,
Paul
