Oh sure, take my name in vain :))

Hey whatever works Bob, no problems here. I rebuilt a lil' 302 with all the goodies, ported/polished heads etc and the entire cooling system is brand new. I installed a 160 t-stat and she kept getting hotter till on long runs I didn't trust it much. Pulled the 160, installed a 190 and never run hotter than 180-190 now no matter how long I run it. Guess it could have something to do with the milling/porting/headers etc that makes it run a bit hotter but it's been my experience that a 190 is better in summer. Like I said "just my couple of zincs on the matter". Of course a 390 big block's radiator holds like 85 gallons of water so that too could be the difference.

P.S. Yes I was kiddin' about the 85 gallons of water :))
