If that pipe is the one going to the radiator as it looks like it is then in upside down.The spring part and senser always goes toward the engine block.When it opens then the coolant can go to the radiator for cooling.
Thanks SJ, so it should like this...

Matt the second pic is how mine was when I took apart😊
Yes Matt, the 2nd. picture is right way now.
The gas-operated piston (that is visible on the top of the first pic) is the device that needs to be in the heated water to make the thermostat open.
Thus, it has to be on the bottom, where the hot water is coming from the engine, for the thermostat to work as designed.
Does anyone have a part number on the thermostat used in this article?
My 15 Book shows Part no L-1118 That translates to todays No of 0L1118 . I havn't ever checked whether they can be Bought or not , I would be supprised if The 10 isn't the same number , I just haven't a Ten book with Me at present . You should be able to pickup something from like's of Nappa over there .Good luck LJ
