Need help on my diverters. My cylinder block thermostats do not protrude the block like the ones i've seen on the pics in this forum. They are flush mounted inside the block. Can anyone help me find out the differnce between them? I have been looking for replacement diverters to fit my 59' 430 cid.

There were two different styles of block thermostats and this is covered in a 1958 LINC-MERC Service Bulletin. They are interchangeable. The problem is that the block thermostats are no longer serviced as LINC deleted them in early/mid sixty production. They are not necessary for normal operation. The diverters are.
