[DeTomaso] Thermostat Question

[chris terp]

My mechanic is installing a third switch-operated fan to the rear of the radiator.  This is something I can switch on when stuck in traffic, or if I notice the temp rising.  Not sure if a thermostat makes that much difference in temp.  Does one open wider than another?

  Your engine temp would be determined by the electric fan switch when the car is not moving or moving very slowly.

My engine gets too hot in traffic. I have a Robertshaw/Flowcooler ready to install and I am wondering how much it might be able to drop my temp, assuming both are 180 degree units?
