Need some help with Temperature Switch for Fan Control

Need some help. I am wiring in an electric fan in my car and I need a fan switch for it. It hs to be one of those types that completes the ground when the coolant reaches a certain temperature.

Anyway, I hear several GM comes with these switches in a 3/8 threaded plug size (what i need)

So far I found this switchat 190* (p/n 3053190) Is there any switches that operate at lower temps? I really need one that goes down to about 170-180 degrees

I have the Hypertech in my GTA. Switching temps are:
ON@176deg/OFF@166
I run it with a 160deg thermostat and the Hypertech Thermo Master chip.
