thermostat
Hello guys..
someone know what kind of thermostat needs for 327 engine in corvette 1968?
160° - 180° -195°???
I have a problem with temperature gauge.
it doesn't work.
I changed it with new one,but the temp is already under 100°.
I changed the temp bulb too.
nothing
now I think the prob is the thermostat.
thank you

Agree,..180 degree thermostat is needed.
Also, if your temp gauge is under-reporting, you likely have an incorrect sender. Today, there's no sender that reports accurately, even the ones that claim to, such as Lectric Limited and the sender sold by Zip.
BWD makes a sender that's close (reads about 85% of actual temp).
