Re: hot 305 post radiator swap

I'm thinking that if you do some investigating into what the OEM recommended thermostat is for that 305 in the vehicle it came in from the factory you will see the standard thermostat for the application is 195. That is probably why you got a 195 thermostat when you went in and asked for a thermostat for a 19___ Chevrolet ____ 305 telling them what donor car the engine came out of when ordering the thermostat. Unless you specifically asked for a 180 that is.
