My pennies worth......
In the UK BMC cars were always too cool. It was, (
and still is ) common to go 'UP' one thermostat in the spec. IE
virtually all BMC used 82 ( 180 in American,) so we fit 88, ( 190 in A).
For hot climates the book says use a 74, ( 165 in A) I assume that would
be in the hotter parts of our old Empire.
