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.

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!!

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