I'm thinking about throwing a RobertShaw Hi-Flow Thermostat (from Stewart's website) into my stock 90 GT, along with a Stewart water pump, a stock replacement fan from 50resto.com, and a 3 row radiator from RadiatorBarn.com. Will there be any differences between this thermostat and just a regular one you would find at a local parts shop? Is a 195 degree thermostat correct for this car? Also, whats the average life of a thermostat and radiator hoses used in a daily driver? (I've asked a million people this and have never once gotten the same answer, except "When hoses crack and thermostat sticks")
