A 180 will make your car run cooler than a stock one. But not much difference. Since you are doing this yourself, I would change it anyway. Especially when you don't know when it was last changed. I forgot to mention what pkrwud said. It very well could be your stock gauge if that is what you are running. But probably not since you were low on coolant. Check your oil, look for water in it. And if you can, run a compression test as pkrwud suggested. Those results will definitely help.
On my quote, I have that sticker on the rear windshield of my stang. Glad you liked it. I thought it was pretty cool too.
