1960 223 thermostat question

Local Napa gave me part number 191, which is a 180 degree large style thermostat. Is this correct? If incorrect can anyone give me correct part number/degree? As always, thanks guys.

Can't help with the Napa part#. A lot of early 223's and Y blocks had 160 thermostats, I run 180's in both my 223 and Y block.

223 I-6 t/stats were 2 1/2" diameter, 240/300 I-6 t/stats were 2 1/4" diameter.
