Anyone happen to have a part number for the Mr.gasket t-stat? I plan to run the stock 192/195*. BTW, it's for a 1990 lx 5.0 notch 5-speed.
im not sure that they make anything higher than 180 (i know they have a 160 and 180). might check their site - i cant remember who the parent company is but a web search should reveal it (ive looked them up before on their site).

good luck.

rockin will be all set. you made me go look again in the paper catalog and i did not see one in there (paper is the one i use and peruse since i have dial up).
i stand corrected. :) thanks 5Spd.

I have a little bit quicker net speed and plus I'm on the internet all the time...so I don't use the "paper" that much :)
 
OK, here's the good news:

Thanks for looking up the info! I actually went OEM today, sorry for asking about the part # stuff. I also went ahead and put in a new FMS blue silicone upper radiator hose and water pump hoses per Hissins' suggestion. The one with the "L" bend was sort of a pain to get on but I finally managed to do it.
I'm waiting until I get a new radiator to put the lower hose on.

The bad news:

OK, so I forget to mention that I do smell a bit of coolant when I first turn on the vent to the hot position but it goes away after a bit. I don't have any leaks inside the car nor under the car. Could the smell be coming from the heater core? I would be pissed if I have to replace the damn heater core!! :bang:

If anyone has encountered a similar prob please share your thoughts! Thanks!!
