Please elaborate on Thermostat installation. I thought I installed new Thermostat as the old Thermostat. But, I could have made an error.

Thank you again for the assistance.
I am assuming the vent between the Black Tank in front of passenger side windshield and the White Overflow tank beneath the passenger side headlight is not blocked.

Looking at the photo.......I do not know how you can install it the wrong way but may be crooked or maybe the wrong way.
The Bottom of the thermostat in the photo faces toward the drivers side in the thermostat housing.

The Top of the thermostat with the gasket faces into the part of the thermostat housing toward the Passenger Side. The black gasket is sandwiched in a groove between the Passenger Side and Drivers Side halves of the thermostat housing. It is difficult but using a putty knife to hold the thermostat in place during assembly does work.
