yeah, the auto parts store near you should be able to tell you what t-stat came in any car or truck you'd want to know about. they can tell you the temp and if the part is the same number. most of them can cross reference by part # and tell you every car or truck that shares the same t-stat. e

I was checking out some Camaros and Corvettes at the track today, and the T-stat housing looks the same. Don't those cars come from the factory with 180* stats? If so, does anybody have the part numbers?

I work at a local oreilly auto parts, and the one that we sell as a "stock replacement" is a 185 actually. It has the numbers stamped inside the bottom of it incase anyone wants one just a little bit colder. It is also only $20 and the part # is 37987 murray brand.
