Sherlock
Stant 27167 (also listed as 27167 BB67) is a Stat Lok® adhesive-backed Engine Coolant Thermostat Gasket, made in the USA. It is designed for older/classic American vehicles (primarily 1950s–1990s passenger cars, light trucks, and some SUVs) with compatible thermostat housings. Like the 27140 you already have, it uses adhesive backing to hold the thermostat in place during installation.
Key Specifications
- Manufacturer: Stant
- Type: Thermostat housing gasket/seal with Stat Lok adhesive technology
- Common cross/OE references: Includes various Ford, GM, Chrysler, and AMC numbers (exact matches depend on the housing; common ones include older Ford E-series, GM 3.8L/5.0L V6/V8 applications, and Chrysler LA/ B-engine families).
Vehicle Fitment (examples from period catalogs and cross-reference
data) This is not a universal modern part. It is application-specific for classic-era engines:
- Ford / Mercury / Lincoln: 1957–1972 various V8s (e.g., 289, 302, 351W, 390, 429/460 families in cars and trucks); Fairlane, Mustang, Thunderbird, F-Series trucks, Ranchero, Cougar, Marquis.
- GM / Chevrolet / GMC / Buick / Oldsmobile / Pontiac: 1955–1990s small-block and big-block V8s, 3.8L V6 (e.g., 350, 400, 454); Camaro, Chevelle, Impala, Corvette, C/K trucks, Blazer, Suburban, LeSabre, Cutlass, Grand Prix.
- Chrysler / Dodge / Plymouth: 1958–1970s LA-series (318, 340, 360) and some B/RB big-blocks; Dart, Charger, Coronet, Satellite, Fury, Road Runner.
- AMC / Jeep: 1960s–1970s 232/258/304/360/401 engines; Rambler, Javelin, Wagoneer, CJ series.
- Other: Some Hudson, Nash, Studebaker, and early Jeep applications that shared the same thermostat housing designs.
Exact fitment requires matching the part number against the specific year/make/model/engine and thermostat housing casting. Many sellers of these vintage gaskets list them only by make and number without full fitment charts.
Next step for your Investigation shelf: Would you like me to draft a short vault entry (plain markdown) summarizing both 27140 and 27167 for the Investigation shelf, or do you have the next bag/number you want researched first?
