Six cylinder guys, what thermostat are you running?
Just put a 195 in last night, that's supposedly the factory recommended one. Gauge stays above the middle. Bad/wrong sender maybe. What's in your's?

Re: Six cylinder guys, what thermostat are you running?
Where is the temp sender on your engine? Thermostat housing? Head?

Re: Six cylinder guys, what thermostat are you running?
A 180 would be the one to run. Where you get your info from? Factory would be 180.

Re: Six cylinder guys, what thermostat are you running?
TJ, where's your 180 "factory" info from? 195 is listed as OEM.

Re: Six cylinder guys, what thermostat are you running?
My 64's 292 had never been opened and I pulled a 180 thermostat out of it. 66's 292 also had a 180 in it. That's why I asked the OP where he got his info from....wondering if it's from the shop manual or not.

Re: Six cylinder guys, what thermostat are you running?
I had a 180 in my 292 and the hot light never came on.

Re: Six cylinder guys, what thermostat are you running?
My 250 had a 195 in it and only time it got warm was riding the clutch in a super slow parade. I went to a 180 but haven't seen hot weather yet to know. Gauge is a little lower than before. An electric fan and shroud would probably help a lot. I daily drive mine, thought it might help.

Re: Six cylinder guys, what thermostat are you running?
How is your radiator?
I had the original radiator in and when I switched to a new one my temps dropped 5-10 degrees. |
