Hello,

last time when i was in the USA,
i purchased this for less..

Please check this thermostat out.
His name is :

Superstat 195 F Heavy Duty Thermostat
part # 59359

see picture below..

I live in the Netherlands,
temperature is here approx. 5-20 celcius....
winter : -10 - 5 celcius
summer : 5 - 38 celcius

so tell me, i must replace the old one,
because its rusted, old etc..

I want to install it into my GTA 5.7 1989 engine

Hope will get your answer soon.

 

I looked up 89 GTA 5.7 and these are the numbers for Stant that I get. How long ago did you purchase this?
The best I can suggest is to remove your old one and match them up side by side to make sure they are the same.

Hi,
thanks for help,
i bought it last year, november 2004 when i was on holiday
in phoenix, arizona.

they do like same.
but i don't want overheat the car,
so i must know it, will this really fit correctly ?

 

That looks the same as your factory 195 temp thermostat. If shipping and availablity were such large problems for you, I would recommend a 180º thermostat.

 

no not at all..
they are cheap.
but,
i ve a F-Body.NL First Meeting Day in Holland at 5th june 2005

and shipping tooks 12 days... :-) little too long..
thanks.

 

with those kind of temps, a 195F stat will be just fine.
if i remember right, 38C is like 85F,... i don't even want to know what -10C is,... other than WAY too cold for me.
