Didn't see a 60 hp in 1968, if it is a 3 cylinder (55 hp) the thermostat is at the top of the cylinder head. If it is a 4 cylinder (65 hp) the thermostat is located between the cylinder heads, in a plastic block with a coolant hose going to each cylinder head.

You can go to the johnson web site and locate your engine and look at a parts breakdown, that might help.

Do you have it on a boat in the water, or some makeshift set-up?
