I purchased a 145 degree thermostat for my '87 Advance with Chevy PCM from FirstChoiceMarine.com #PLE-RP026003. When it arrived it had 170F printed on it, so I contacted them to switch it out. They wrote me back today saying that the manufacturer told them that 145 degree thermostats are no longer available. Could that possibly be true?
If so, how harmful will having the wrong thermostat be for my carbureted engine be?
