When I read this thread, two possibilities came to mind:
  1. aftermarket single-spring thermostats are a bit taller than the OEM Holley ones, and require a spacer to fit properly. Moyer sells them.
  2. The OEM cast iron thermostat covers tend to corrode badly over time, and may not seal properly. A Bronze replacement cover from Moyer fixes that.
