What temp of thermostat do I need? since you offer two different degree's of t-stat... what is the correct one to get? the 160 or the 180? I have a 49 flathead in my car that I just bought, and I am unsure of what the original one is. We live in Kansas and it gets hot in summer (over 100 degrees# but it get cold in winter as well. #below freezing) I do drive my car all year round.
