    For the winter months I would go to a 192 degree thermostat then switch it out to a maybe 160 when the warmer months come. It is really strange to hear of a '40 Ford that runs TOO COOL, generally these cars have a problem with airflow because of the design of the front end and the engine room trapping air. Says a lot about the efficiency of your aluminum radiator.

    PS: Here is a hand brake on Ebay right now that sounds like what you are looking for.
