i have a 195* thermostat in my car right now and i just feel that it runs to hot. its usually at 200* and sometimes creeps up to 205*. should i just get a 180? what do your guys cars run at.
I run a 180 and sometimes I think it's too cool but that's reading my stock gauges. I am going to be installing some autometer gauges in my car this year for sure.
i ran the same that you did... put a 180 in and noticed a big difference! i would do it!! kept it alot cooler! only goes to the second line... before it would stay in the middle! i need a aftermarket guage too!
Roland, check your local speed shop. They're 10 bucks at mine. Otherwise, if Summit or Jegs ships to Canada for a reasonable rate, the stats are under 9 bucks IIRC (if you are placing an order for something else - so you dont get hit with big S/H for just a stat).
It could be worth calling local parts stores to see if they can order the stat for you too - one or two of the 'parts oriented' chains here can get them.
