Proper Thermostat

Hi Guy's,

just picked up a super clean 1992 F150 Flareside from the original owner with a 5.0 motor,I am going to flush the cooling system and replace the thermostat,haven't pulled the old one yet ( need to drive the truck to pick it up) Cam anyone tell me the proper temp thermostat to purchase? I'm thinking a 190 or 195 degree for this motor.


thank you
