Not sure I know what that is. I just changed to a 180 NAPA and found better temp control at idle. Also noticed a lower operating temp on the highway. Running around 195 now.

Smiles, I guess my "Robertshaw" modified thermostst could be considered a balance type............
The "Robertshaw 180º" has 3 small holes drilled in it for a bypass, I would prefer only one buts thats what Stewart componets ships.....
I use the 180º instead of the standard 195º that was in there cuz of the extreme heat here in the Palm Springs area (115º+).
The fan seldom kicks in while driving down the slab at 60 MPH even with a tow.
The old radiator was yanked and a 4 row with 1/2 tubes was reinstalled, The old one while in decent shape had a 4 row BUT ONLY 3/8 tubes.
