[s-cars] Thermostat and O-Ring

Hedz,

Continuing on in my engine guts project, I come to the thermostat
replacement.  My question is, does the O-ring go between the stat and
the block, or the stat and the plastic gooseneck attached to the water
hose?

Both the Bentley and the Family Album show the o-ring on the topside
(gooseneck) of the stat.  However, the one I removed had the o-ring on
the underside.

I managed to hose this up further by breaking the gooseneck upon
tightening it down after putting in the new stat (with ring on
underside).  Sigh, another part on order from the stealer.

What's the consensus?
