If you have a 180 degree T,stat & your engine is running 160 degrees on a cool 
day your T'stat must be broken!

 I have a BJ8 with:
 
 - OEM radiator with 4-row 'Excel' core
 - Texas Cooler fan
 - recently rebuilt engine with approx. 6K miles--hot-tanked, properly tuned, 
etc.--and Robertshaw sleeved 180degF thermostat
 - Jet-Hot coated exhaust manifold
 
 ... and a BN2/100M with:
 
 - OEM radiator with 4-row 'Excel' core
 - OEM art deco fan
 - rebuilt engine with a couple thousand miles at most--still working on 
'perfect' mixture--and garden-variety Stant 180degF thermostat
 - manifold with high-temp 'authentic color' paint only
 
 Both behave identically, i.e. will run 'cool'--160degF or less--on cool days, 
180degF on 'typical' days (72degF), and both will get hot (over 200) sitting in 
traffic on typical or hotter days or pulling up a long grade.
 
 FWIW
