170 Thermostat?

Wow, sub freezing all year? Where's that if I can ask...

I checked Stewart Components, and don't mind spending $30-$40 on a good thermostat, but I couldn't find one by them. Maybe I didn't look in the right place but it looked like they only have 9 on the entire site.

I would like to know where you got your 170 thermostat, what year engine you drive. I have searched a couple days for a 170 and can find tons of Chevy and Ford ones, but not Mopar for some reason. They make late model ones, but not the hot rod era.

LOL...not sub freezing all year! We do have winter though and I drive my junk. The 160 wouldn’t defrost the windows so I put the 170 in there.

I drive an iron headed 340. Nothing exotic. Since my cooling system WILL keep the engine temp at 170 even on 100 degree days, I use it. My system is pretty efficient, but it could be better.

I also run more compression on pump gas than most guys do, so the cooler engine temps reduce detonation.
