UPDATE!!!
I went to Autozone this morning and I bought two RobertShaw thermostats..A 160 and a 180 degree..With my meat temperature indicator, I put the 160 in the pan of water and turned on the heat..It started to open right at 160..The 180 also opened up at 180 degrees...Since I live in Texas and it is 101 degrees today, I decided to put in the 160..I ran the car for most of the day with the a/c on and the temperature never rose above 195...Without the a/c it runs at 180..This is just what I wanted!!! I will save the 180 degree thermostat for the winter...I can't believe I have been fighting this for so long and it was a simple fix to begin with..I almost went out and bought an aluminum radiator..Glad I saved my $300...I highly recommend the RobertShaw thermostat from Autozone..Works great!!! I am no longer worried about driving my car in hottest part of the day with the a/c on..
