Message: I got mine at Autozone. It is a Robert Shaw, part number GT755-180. They should have them on the shelf. If not, just ask the parts drone at the counter for that specific part number. If they ask you what it's for, tell them it's for a race car so the application doesn't really matter. They won't give you the lifetime warranty on it but for $5.99, who cares.

Message: go back to autozone, part number:
Robert shaw GT755-180 ($5.95)
just cause thier system hasnt been upgraded
doesnt mean they dont make it. Autozone,
kragen, shucks, etc. are all useless when it
comes to customer service, and automobile
knowledge. If you dont drive a pre 1972
hotrod, they dont know what the f*ck they are
talking about.
I would put in the t-stat first, or at the same
time

Message: 160 is too cold (may trip the check engine light and does cause worse gas mileage).

Message: Parts stores don't suck!... The people in them do.
There are some good ones although you probably won't get the best help at the Zone. If there is an Advance in your market you might give them a try... Advance in the Alk/La/Tex is running Autolites for .69 ea(might stock up while you're
there)
