The 160 thermostat should open about 20 degrees sooner than a 180.
160 degree thermosdat
180 degree is stock but you could also go with 160 degree
A 160 in the summer time and a 180 during the winter.
What ever degree thermostat happens to be in there be it a 160, 180 or 195 degree t-stat.
This is a 160% difference.
Looks like 190 from the factory. See link for discussion on optional 160 degree thermostat.
a 160 to 180 degree thermostat will work and any auto parts store should be able to get you one.
The difference between 160 and 820 is 660. This means that to reach 820 one must add 660 to 160.
Sounds like the thermostat is stuck open. Try a new one.

Put a 195 degree thermostat in it and see what it reads. Are you SURE the GAUGE is not LIEING to you ???
yes if you live in a cold area it could help, example, a 160 degree thermostat will open before a 180 degree thermostat, thus letting the warm coolant from the block to circulate thru the radiator and heater core, thus giving you warm air for your heater faster than a higher rated thermostat
