basic jyst of the problem is that the new 383 stroker is running hot (210-230). Was told that stock t-stat and stock fan temps just arent cutting it. so i went to autozone today and bought a 160 degree t-stat and installed it and it made almost no difference. but after researching some more on the topic tonight i found that it looks like the idiot at auto zone sold me a standard sbc t-stat and not a lt1 specific one(its missing the bottom spring part). my question is where is an auto parts store around milwaukee that will sell me the correct t-stat or will i have to order it from somewhere like speed inc?
im also ordering the cable for lt1 edit tommorrow so that i can start tuning it myself along with i want to see what the pcm temp sensor is reading because i wonder if the stock location sending unit is too close to the header and thats causing abnormal readings
