I replaced the intake manifold on my truck with an aluminum Edelbrock manifold off my 77 Camaro. well, the engine gets real hot real quick and I was thinking I need to get a different thermostat. I saw that the thermos for our trucks are like 195 degrees. Wouldn't it be better if I went with a 180 degree unit instead, or maybe even a 160? Where could I get a 160 thermo?
