I was out in the garage cleaning up, and I found my old thermostat. I always thought that it was a 195, even thought the tech database says its 180. Well anyway my thermostat said 195 on the bottom of it. I was just wondering if I have a freak 99 or what?

I'm pretty sure all the 4th gens, at least the 3.8's all had the 195* thermo stock.
The thermo mod started out using a 180* I think, but then went to the 160 hoping for a more drastic effect.
EDIT
Although, going though my books, I can't seem to find anything right now that backs me up. lol

My stock thermostat was marked 195, and autotap consistently reported a steady 195 reading (unless I got on it, or was sitting still), on my '98.

Both my 2000, my mom's 2000, and my current 2002 all came with 195 stats. Stamped on the back of it!!2002 5-spd NBM Camaro

From the GM parts list:
95-97 GM 24506986 (AC Delco #131-115)
98-01 GM 24505924 (AC Delco #131-120)
A couple of years ago I listed the 98 has having a 195, and got *****ed at by owners who said they had a 180 - so I changed it. GM lists different part numbers, so you tell me.Robert - owner www.FirebirdV6.com/CamaroV6.com

Robert, perhaps there's just a slight design change in the thermo's. GM did do a lot of stuff between 97 and 98.Keith - Chicago<br /><a href=\"http://www.hptuners.com\" target=\"_blank\">HP Tuners - PCM Reprogramming</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.dxsoftware.com/magnus/\" target=\"_blank\">97 Firebird V6 to LS1 swap</a><br /><b>V8 9.967@132.78</b> 1.322 60\' NA Heads/Cam<br /><b>V8 10.295@128.48</b> 1.363 60\' NA Cam Only<br /><b>V8 10.987@119.31</b> 1.422 60\' NA Stock Internals<br /><b>V6 13.674@98.22</b> NA<br /><b>V6 12.394@104.91</b> N20 100HPComment
