Ok i have a 93 stang and for some reason since I bought the car it has never had a thermostat in it cause the temp stays like 1 peg from the bottom on the gauge. I dont know why they took it out but what temp should i put back in it.

 

Yeah put a 180* in it.

 

+1 Just go get one from a local parts store. Shouldnt be more than 5-10 bucks.

 

I would also spring for the "fail safe" if its offered... they are about $11 but if at anytime they malfuncion, they stick open rather than closed to prevent engine damage

 

^+2, get a 180* FailSafe from Autozone $12

 

O Yea I forgot... Mr.Gasket T stats arent good enough for these guys

 

Thanks all, I will get the 180 faile safe. I wonder how it will run when its up to temp. LOL

 

hahaha, 1 more point for the good guys blue! lol [8D] j/k

 

There should be a small hole on one side of the stat. Make sure it points up so any air bubbles can get thru. Other than that just make sure the spring faces the intake.

Mr Gasket? Im usin a Stant 180 stat and it works just fine.

 

^ yea, jacking the front of the car up so that the rad cap is highest point of coolant system helps too...
