Murray thermostats

The 68's thermostat is sticking and I need to replace it. I checked at Oriellys and they have Murray thermostats. They dont have stant in stock. Has anyone used Murray thermostats? Good? Bad?

Thanks

Re: Murray thermostats

Stant was bought by Motorad. My personal recommendation would be the Mr. Gasket "deep dish" aka hi-flow units. (they are actually Robert Shaw)

You can usually grab new old stock Robertshaw style, all brass, on ebay for $20-25.
