Many on the board, myself included. Permanently solve the thermostat issue by removing that silver preheat hose completely. The only purpose it serves it sot get the engine up to operating temperature a little sooner and so burning fuel more efficiently a little sooner. It's an emissions thing. So you will only have a problem doing this if you live where they do emissions inspections and you don't put the hose back on for your inspection.
Personally I would buy a used AMM on eBay. In fact I have bought them and now I take them from the pick-n-pull when I find them and sell them on eBay. I have yet to hit on a bad one. New ones are outrageously priced and a lot of people on the board have had bad experinces with rebuilds. I don't happen to have a 007 AMM right now or I would offer you one. You could probably buy 3 or 4 used 007s for the price of a rebuild. I think the odds are in your favor there. In fact, buy two and put one in your trunk. If the first one ever does fail, this is a part you can easily replace on the side of the road.
