I agree with the person who said that difference is a lot. I have a 180
T-stat in my 92 3.9L and with a new radiator my needle is about 1/16" above
the minimum normal area, or about a needle's width above the line, with the
195 it was maybe double that, but never more than a 1/4 through the "Normal"
area. I only hit half in hot summer traffic with the AC on. That's just a
big drop to me.
