Recommend T-Stat for TX and hot places
What do you guys recommend running in a 1995 GT? I'm in the Dallas TX area.

No lower than 180deg. If it's lower it'll screw up the air/fuel mixture.

Yep. Are you having overheating problems or do you just want it to run cooler?

For the last week or so the car has been running great, no detonation. It has just been running a little on the warm side. I thought that maybe with the car being from Canada it would use a different T-stat than the cars down here. Thanks. ------------------ 1995 Mustang GT |

We were having some temp probs after putting in our new 347. Down here in summer run a 180 then during fall and winter run stock. But whatever you do get some watter wetter-it works. Were running a 160 right now but going back to the 180. Dont use Stant, use Robershaw. I run 4 diff Stants and they suck, some did'nt open till 200 or so and by then it was too late.
