Re: was alt upgrade, now thermostat

A: If you ran that low of a thermostat in the great white north, you 
wouldn't have any heat in your car next month! <G> 195 is well below the 
boiling point of 50/50 water/antifreeze mixed under 15lbs pressure. It boils 
closer to 230. Or if you like, in the parlance or weights and measures du 
Canada, Celsius 115 (roughly) IIRC, Celsius is 0 at freezing (32F) and 100 
at boiling (212F) and Centigrade was 0 at freezing and 100 at 200F. (been a 
long time since Science class in BC @1975)

   195 degree's is what the thermostat is in most amc's? i thought i'd heard 
of people upgrading to 180 degree thermostats? doesn't water boil at about 
210 degree's? dont mind me i'm from canada and centigade degree's make more 
sence to me i was thinking somewhere around 150 and 165 or 170 would be my 

numbers but am i way off here?
