A thermostat seal is a molded rubber ring that seals the thermostat or the water outlet instead of a flat paper gasket. Stant's description of these seals: no sealer or RTV is needed, and each one is shaped for its application. **Key Features** - Part Number: Stant 27269 (single pack); same seal as Stant 25269 in the Stant catalog - Type: Engine coolant thermostat / water outlet seal (rubber, O-ring style per the Gates equivalent) - Size: about 1.93 in. inside diameter × 2.25 in. outside diameter × 0.158 in. thick (Gates 33607 data for the direct equivalent) - Cross-references: Gates 33607; American Motors Corp (AMC) 4200156; Beck/Arnley 039-0033; Carquest 30715; Chrysler 4425632; Dayco 82502; Dole 471502; Edelmann 6028 Stant's own 1928–1994 application catalog lists the 27269 for 8 makes from 1967 to 1994. It's a good fit for restoration projects, weekend drivers and mechanics keeping older vehicles running. **Compatible Makes & Models (from the Stant catalog)** - **Alfa Romeo** (1975–1977): Alfetta (1975–1977) - **American Motors** (1977–1979): Concord (1978), Gremlin (1977–1978), Spirit (1979) - **Audi** (1971–1990): 100 (1971–1977), 4000 (1980–1985), 80 (1988–1990), 90 (1988), Fox (1973–1979), Super 90 (1971–1972) - **Chrysler** (1989–1990): TC by Maserati (1989–1990) - **Fiat** (1971–1972): 128 (1971–1972) - **Porsche** (1977–1994): 924 (1977–1982), 944 (1983–1991), 968 (1992–1994) - **Volkswagen** (1974–1994): Cabriolet (1985–1993), Corrado (1990–1992), Dasher (1974–1981), Fox (1987–1993), Golf (1985–1994), Jetta (1980–1994), Passat (1990–1993), Quantum (1982–1985), Rabbit (1975–1984), Rabbit Pickup (1980–1983), Scirocco (1975–1988), Vanagon (1981–1983) - **Volvo** (1967–1975): 122 (1968), 140 Series (1967–1974), 1800 (1967–1972), 240 (1975) **Note**: Always verify fitment for your specific year, make, model and engine. Some catalog lines are limited to one engine code or housing type; the full engine-by-engine list is in the fitment appendix below. If you have your old seal, compare its size and shape, or just ask Don and Kathy. **Price is $9.95 plus $3.00 for shipping.** Don and Kathy offer a fair deal for this. Buying for a club, a shop, or a whole fleet of project cars? Even better. **Why Buy From Don & Kathy at Don's Obsolete Auto Parts?** Don Leask founded one of the earliest online obsolete auto parts businesses (carparts2 on eBay in 1997, the second auto parts store on eBay) and grew it to 11,000–17,000 unique listings. Today, with help from their digital agent Misty (misty@donsobsoleteautoparts.com), Don and Kathy connect directly with restorers and collectors while preserving their legacy of quality parts. These seals come from Don's own shelves. To reach them, click the "Don & Kathy Leask" button at the bottom left of any page on donsobsoleteautoparts.com, or email misty@donsobsoleteautoparts.com. **The Stant 27269 Thermostat Seal: The Right Seal for Alfa Romeo and American Motors Owners** Thermostat seals are small, but they decide whether a cooling system stays dry. When the thermostat housing comes off, the right seal is the quiet part that keeps the job from turning into a second trip to the parts counter. **Why This Seal Matters** Stant's application catalog covering 1928 through 1994 lists the 27269 across 8 makes (Alfa Romeo, American Motors, Audi, Chrysler, Fiat, Porsche, Volkswagen, Volvo). Cross-reference tables tie it to the Stant 25269 and Gates 33607, which makes it easy to match against an old parts list or a worn-out seal. **Real-World Fitment Examples** - 1975–1977 Alfa Romeo Alfetta 4-Cyl. 120 cu in - 1978 American Motors Concord 4-Cyl. 121 cu in - 1971 Audi 100 4-Cyl. 107 cu in - 1990 Chrysler TC by Maserati 4-Cyl. 2.2L - 1971–1972 Fiat 128 4-Cyl. 68 cu in - 1977–1979 Porsche 924 4-Cyl. 121 cu in - 1988–1993 Volkswagen Cabriolet 4-Cyl. 1.8L - 1968 Volvo 122 4-Cyl. 109 cu in **Keeping Older Cars on the Road** Don and Kathy Leask have been part of the classic car world since the early days of the internet. Starting with carparts2 on eBay in 1997, they became one of the largest online sellers of obsolete parts. Now, with their Don's Obsolete Auto Parts site and digital agent Misty, they're making hard-to-find parts discoverable again, connecting owners of rare inventory with the enthusiasts who need them. **Buying Tips** - Match three things before ordering: year, model and engine. Watch for catalog notes such as engine VIN codes or housing type. - Compare sizes: the 27269 is about 1.93 in. inside diameter × 2.25 in. outside diameter × 0.158 in. thick. - Some engines use a gasket and a seal at the thermostat; check what came off yours. - Restoration shops, clubs and collectors can ask about quantity pricing. --- ## Fitment appendix — every Stant catalog line for 27269 Source: Stant *Thermostats, Gaskets, Caps – 1928 through 1994* (application pages).
