thermostat for 5.0 swap
just got done swapping a harness and ecu out of a 91 mustang on to the stroked 5.0 in my 66 (started life as a carbed engine). Im pretty sure I had a 180 degree thermostat and put that back in when I put the new manifold on.
Will a lower t.stat not allow the ecu to go into close lo0p mode? Should I put a stock 192 degree t.stat in it instead?

you have no problems, yet. Unless you're carbed. If EFI, stick with 180 or 195. Closed loop hits at around 180. Assuming the car will run an average of 10 degrees hotter than the installed thermostat, with a 160, you'll never hit closed loop, and be running rich full time.
