Help identify real or counterfeit 180 Thermostat....

[Ron]

Purchased a "new" 180 thermostat off EBAY while back and more recently a new from Dodge 195 degree. Building my spare parts inventory. Anyway, noticed a completely different design between the Dodge and EBAY and was wondering if anyone had a officially purchased a 180 that could either post an image in this thread or at least compare mine with theirs and comment to the similarities or differences. Most troubling is that the 195 says it is such on the pill while the "180" has unidentifiable numbers instead. Came in a plain white unsealed box too. Called Caltherm and got a vague response, more accusatory as to how I came to own it rather than informational.

Perhaps it's a Autozone V-10 truck version?

I've seen various lower temp t-stats for Vipers (stanton, & Cat for example) that are marked in Celsius. they were sometimes advertised as xxxF but when you did the c-f conversion they were not what was advertised.

This one might be a 170F (76.6c)

Test it in hot water with a themometer.
