Reply to "Cleveland Thermostats"

johnk (Guest)

What I find curious is the choice of 180* (or higher) thermostats on Pantera. I understand that the purpose of the thermostat is to regulate coolant flow controling heat absorbsion/transfer, but given the 180*, won't the fans run before the thermostat fully opens. Seems that the fans and thermostat would be in contention, with the fans trying to keep the thermostat (at least partially) closed. What is the downside of running a 160? Wouldn't that allow full flow through the cooling system allowing the temp sensors/fans to regulate temp to the best of their ability? Sorry for the questions, haven't owned a Cleveland motor since 1973 (first car a '71 BOSS351). Thanks
