One more question: I need to replace the thermostat on a 1988 Camry 4-cyl. Took the old thermo to Pep Boys, and they looked it up on the computer. They brought out a Stant thermo..... but although the flange OD was correct, it was about 1 1/2 to 2 in long (deep)...about three times as long as the old part. Also the old part is stamped 160 degree, while the new Stant is a 180 deg thermo. Come to think of it, aren't most sedans designed to run 180 degrees? The counter-person said that is the only part shown for Camry 4-cyl through 91 or 92. SO Can someone with the manual please tell me if this 180 degree stant thermo sounds like the correct one? It could be some mechanic in the past before I bought the car installed an incorrect one.
