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

theexisting radiator
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
Bob
