It was stamped 188 and I've heard of others using the 180 degree thermostat as replacement. Since I spaced that one off, looks like I will have to go on a parts run tomarrow.

I flushed the engine for about 15 minuets with the prestone? flush kit before I did anything. I'm wondering if it did that much good considering the water pump wasn't working as well as it should've. Just to be safe I'll flush it again when I'm done with the new water pump and thermostat.

This SHOULD work.........
