Listers:
since i posed the question relative to my new 1966 Mustang....
my 1965 Healey and my 1967 E type FHC both have 165 degree thermostats.
both have new radiators and new water pumps.
the E type with A/C has an electric fan and the BJ8 has a "desert" fan.
both keep the water very cool.
both have 50 / 50 water and anti freeze
they run about 165 no matter how hot it gets.
both seem to run strong.
neither over heats, even the E type which is black, with the A/C on in
100 degree weather.
so i think i am going to switch my mustang back to a 165 'stat and see
what happens.
