T stat info
Here’ s some handy info I dug up on GM thermostats.
The first 195 listing is for straight 6 motors, the next 195 listing is for V8s of 350 cid or less and the 180 listing is for motors over 350 cid. Sorry once again that this up loaded sideways, as it did not show that way on the site until I closed the manage attachment window, WTF?!

Thermostat
Good info. Actually tried a Delco stat recommended by another forum
Member. It’s a 170 rated stat. When tested on stove it cracked open at 165ish and was full open at 185. My car currently runs at 165 around town And 170-175 on highway runs. I did this to see if new cold case radiator I installed Would pull temp down to stat and hold it. This is with AC pulley setup and standard duty thermal Fan clutch and 7 blade fan. The cold case is a nice fit in my first gen. Gerry

That's not the case with every web site for some reason it seems!

Pulleys
No AC here. Just found better cooling with AC pulley setup.
Also using trans cooler in cold case radiator. Gerry
