All of my everyday driver vehicles have had the 195 thermostats and a/c and have never had a cooling issue in Michigan.
We get a few hot days, not like Tom S in Cali.
The 64 GTO, (owned forever) has always run a 180 degree thermostat. Lived in Missouri for several years (Hot days and Cold nights many times.)
Never have run a 160 Thermostat because, if I was worried about too much heat in the Engine/ Radiator, I always ran a restrictor ring and dialed in the temp I wanted to see in the engine. I was always wanting to remove the moisture in the engine (OIL) quickly. Water is H2O.
None of those elements are good with liquid petroleum products in engines for bearing/crankshaft loads.
