Thermostat Temps & Water Pump Question?

[Donne Trav]

Would someone please explain what the differences in the Thermostat
temperatures mean? Also, which temp T-stat is stock/recommended
for my '94 LT1? And regarding a newly purchased Water Pump—are the "O" rings or ring incorporated in the pump or purchased separately? Thankyou

The stock thermostat for your 94 is 18O*.

Your thermostat will be fully open at the advertised temp.

Autozone/Advance carry: 180 in stock, 160 can be ordered (word on the street is cold is better, I will remain neutral) Try doing a search on this forum and see why.

Advance/Autozone ought to come with the gaskets, check the box before leaving the store. Count a total of 2.

If your a GM parts purist order one from AC Delco and hope it comes with them in the mail.

just keep in mind that the fans also control the temp..If you put in a 160* t stat, the fans still won't come on until 226*. You must reprogram the fans to come on sooner to take advantage of a lower t-stat.
