    Arrow thermostat for 430ci

    Does anyone know what the stock thermostat is for a 1968 buick wildcat? Does anyone also have any experiences with putting in a colder stat? Thanks, Dino.

    I wouldn't go any lower than a 180 degree thermostat. You want the car to warm up to a proper operating temperature.

    stock was 195 degrees

    I'm running a 180 degree, with no issues
