Default 160 deg t-stat

Just a quick question, I picked up a new T stat and noticed It didn't come with a gasket but a o ring around the base. Will I need a gasket to install or is the o ring going to serve as the gasket ?

No, you only need the O ring, even the stock one that's on the car now can be reused if ya want.

Do you mean an O-ring in the housing, or the rubber gasket around the T-stat itself?
If you got a T-stat with housing that is 1 piece and has an O-ring, it is the wrong one for a C-6.
