    Which thermostat temp?

    Well I think my water pump is starting to leak so I'm gonna buy a new one. Figured I should get a new fan clutch while I'm at it cause I'm willing to bet its original. At this point I might as well throw in a new thermostat. I've been looking at the ac delco stats. They have 160, 180, 195 temp...
