All you need is an Autozone hi flow p/n 15356 160 degree thermostat. PERIOD!

Also, base timing should be adjusted so you have a total timing of 36-38 degrees...with the vacuum advance disconnected and hose plugged.

With a GM factory style shroud, a 7 blade clutch fan, proper timing, and the stat mentioned above you will NEVER have any overheating issues.

Bill, I am definitely saving your post. But I will tell you, I have been running even a little cooler than ever, even in bumper to bumper traffic on Woodward.

Like many of you guys, I took advantage of the beautiful weather and washed my car today. In the middle of cleaning my car, my daughter stopped by and I took a couple of pics of her. Thought you might like some different pics in this thread, instead of motor or car parts.

LACIE SAID SHE WANTED TO POSE SHOWING HER TATTOOS AND MUSCLES...




THEN SHE THOUGHT SHE WOULD TRY TO STEAL MY CAR....



THEN SHE REALLY PUSHED THE LIMIT....SHE WAS LEANING ON MY CAR....LOL
