    So i've installed the 180 thermostat, when gets hot, fluid starts flowing, I'm guessing I'm all good now!

    Thanks again everyone for assisting me during my maintenance guys

    If a 195° was cool enough in 1976, it's cool enough today. 'Nothing wrong with a 180° in a car that is driven in warm climates or summer only.

    I live in SoCal, I think even our "harsh winters" can be called "warm climate" haha.
