I am glad to see you are making some progress but, with all the people who answered here, no one suggested running a cooler thermostat.
I cannot understand this. Do you realize what a thermostat does? It is CLOSED, until a selected temp is reached, and then it OPENS. With a 180, your system does not flow until it reaches 180 or thereabouts. With a 160, your system starts flowing, and thus, COOLING sooner. Would common sense make everyone think this would be desireable? Especially if you are running hot? Why would you want to DELAY (temp wise) the effectiveness of your cooling system when you are running hot? Try a 160 stat. Use the high flow Robert Shaw or Mr Gasket version and be sure to cut a "V" into it to help eliminate air bubbles. This is a simple thing to do and inexpensive thing to try. There is no way a 160 stat can make you run hotter than a 180 unless something is defective. I live in the heat of the Arizona desert and have much experience with cooling and Pontiacs. You are in Wisconsin? Something is wrong. Again, I wish you the very best with your Pontiac. Steve Barcak www.pontiacheaven.org "Real Pontiacs only...no corporate nonsense!"

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
