Which thermostat?

Hey guys was wondering how I can check which thermostat my truck uses? Its 1985 351 W. Has ac/heat... Thanks!

I'm thinking its a 190/195.

Most likely. Auto parts stores should be able to look it up for you. You can always take the stock one out and boil it in water with a thermometer and see when it opens/closes.

190/195 is good though. Don't go any colder or you may not be able to properly boil out junk in your crankcase.
