S-III Thermostat temperature

A real quick one (maybe!). Apart from the obvious difference, why are there two temperatures of thermostat listed (74° and 82°) for the Series III? I need a new one and my local parts supplier has the 82° one on the shelf. The one that came out is a 74° one ('75 SWB 2.25 diesel). Is there a special reason for the different temperatures, or are they essentially interchageable?

Thanks Steve

normally summer and winter - use the lower value in summer so it gets enough cooling and the higher one in winter so you have some hope of the heater producing warm air...

Series Heater. Warm Air. Those two are mutually incompatable.

that's why I said "some hope" and "warm".
