Thermstat selection, putting in today....

Shotgun28 · 05-30-2001, 08:16 AM

Finally replacing a few things here and there today, and was wondering what Thermostat should I get, Stock, 180, etc? Any suggestions.

I am going to the parts store in a couple of hours so any replies are appreciated.

if your car has been getting warmer than it should than go to the 180. if it isnt haveing any cooling problems than the stock replacement should be fine.
if you plan more mods in the near future, go ahead and get the 180.
just make sure it gets warm enough with the 180 as a too cold engine is not a good performing engine! (and not good for it either)
