Strange question, should just be a thermostat for the 22r. Is a "C" series the dual plane or single? Not that it should make a difference.

The only reason I can think of is that you ended up with a "late" 22r water neck ('83 up) and it isn't sealing to the manifold? The offy's require an early water neck, which your '82 should have, unless someone swapped in a post '83 engine at some point.

I had a dual plane offy/weber 32/36 setup on my 81 previously and everything bolted right up and used the stock thermostat.

If you have the late style water neck here's a solution for you.

Or give more info specific to the problem and we'll see what we can figure out.

Normal stat., rubber gasket, early style thermostat housing. 81 too 83. Like bingle said there is an adapter available for the later style thermostat housing.

lce performance makes parts to help seal the early model thermostats even if you have a newer model neck check them out maybe they have some parts for you.
