The 182 thermostat was the one that was in the car when I bought it. After I redid the engine and tranny and reinstalled it started to over heat. The new 160 thermostat is from NAPA. It is a NAPA brand thermostat. I watched the 182 thermostat with a thermometer in the rad and it opened properly. I did not think about when I installed the new head gasket but the two water port in the back of the block did not quite line up with the head gasket. It probably cover half of the two ports. Do not know if this is a problem. The block and head were cleaned out. New water pump. 50/50 on fluid in rad. All I did was replace the gaskets and seals on the gearbox. I had to pull out the front cover of the gearbox about 3 inches to put on the new seal.
