In the spring of 2009 I had the rad repaired and got a new thermostat from JimK. At the time he had only one listed on his site which turned out to be a 180* (80*C).

On the last couple of trips the water temp has been as low as 72C and as high as 92C according to the EBL Whats up display. The dash gauge which has its own sensor shows lower and higher as well so I don't think I have a sensor problem. Both used to read rock solid at 80C.

So it looks like a new thermostat is in the future. Which thermostat should I be using for a 77 with a 455? Is there any benefit to using the higher or preferably lower temp stat?

Thanks
