    Ideal temperture thermostat for SBC?

     



    My new truck has a SBC 383, cam, Edelbrock carb.
    No emissions, no sensors.
    I would like some input on the correct temp thermostat to run.
    I have a flex fan and an aluminum radiator and does not seem to
    have a problem with overheating. Keep in mind that I live in Phoenix, Arizona.
    I guess I'm trying to decide to use a 180 or 195 degree and what brand?
    I am replacing a Motorad Failsafe that fails trying to get the air (steam)
    out of the system.
    Thanks! Joe
