What would be a good thermostat to run in a 1972 350 chevy?

Yessir, everything works as it was designed. Engine runs better too.

If everything in the cooking system is working well, you don’t need anything special in the thermostat department. Good luck

I don't get what you're comment means. If everything is working well, why did you go to a 180 instead of what it is designed to use? It's engineered to run a 195, truck runs great like that.
