Best temp Thermostat for GT500's

[TS69GT500]

69 GT500, runs excellent and all OK with the cooling system (Modine #379 radiator, new fan clutch etc.).
Factory spec for 69 is 192 deg thermostat I think.
Can't locate a 190 deg stat so have been running a 195deg.
I installed a SW mechanical temp gauge and can see exactly when the thermostat opens and keep an eye on the temp.
All seems OK as temp never exceeds 200.
Just wondering what other big block owners are running esp. in climates with hot summers and cold winters.

Thanks,
TonyS

We run a 100° thermostat around here because we need to get ahead of the temperature because of the extreme heat😓😓

160 degree but not just any . Best to use one of the free flowing or high performance type . They go by many names but they all have the similar look design. I use Mr Gasket because it is the least expensive and carried by the local auto parts store.
