Default its too cold in here

well i have a queston concerning a really cold running engine. i read the post and reply regarding 90Mustangfan's question and was wondering why my mustang runs that cool also. it might come up to the L in normal on a hot day but it runs a little warmer at night like to the bottom of the A in normal. i know its got a new stock thermostat in it because i just replaced all of the gaskets from the block to timing chain cover on up like a little more than a month ago because it was leaking coolant from the timing chain cover to block gasket. i also did away with the clutch fan for a spacer and flexlite fan. and while i was doing all of this i replaced the old thermostat with a new one at that time. its a 92 GT with 163,000 or so miles that is stock except for a Msd 6al box, blaster coil, heli-core wires, bbk cold air intake, and thats it. so any ideas are appreciated.
thanxs----Eric

p.s. it ran this cool since i bought it alittle over a year ago.

YOUR FLEXALITE FAN IS PROLLY KEEPING IT COOL BUT AS LONG AS ITS IN THE NORMAL RANGE THE CAAR IS FINE, THE COOLER IT IS THE FASTER IT RUNS BUT IF IT RUNS TOO COLD IT CAUSES WEAR ON THE ENGINE, SO JUST KEEP 190* THERM AND YOU SHOULD BE JUST FINE

get a good temperature gauge and install it in place of the stock one and then you can really see what temp it is, factory gauges without any numbers are worthless IMO.
