thermostat

[Tadams]

I know this has been ask before but which thermostat goes in a 65 Barracuda with a /6. The Chilton's book says 180 for a 65 and 66. When you go to buy one from NAPA they tell you to buy the 192. Is it a major concern which one to use or not?
thanks for your help

Not really .. this subject based on a lot of things actually. Climate is one. What climate is the motor ran at the most temperature wise? My Dodge Ram came with a 195 and I dropped in a 180 (after high recommendations from the folks on DodgeTalk.com) and the motor ran cooler, better throttle response, and gitty up and go.

This topic kind of fits up there which oil to use. LOL!

I'm a couple hundred miles north of you and RedFish, just hit 85 and go north to exit 103.

I always use a 180.

In anything built before 1980 I would run no higher than a 180 degree thermostat.

When in doubt 180.
