No holes drilled, and a 180 stat.
The past few days have been in the teens and 20's. Flying along in those temps could keep you down where you experienced.
Don't go crazy yet.
Wait and see how it is when it is at least 50-60 outside.
We have been working on a 71 LT-1.
Left it idling for half an hour; 130 degrees.
Changed the stat from 160- 180 as we had no idea how old the one in there was.
It has come up to 150, but no higher, all with a verified gauge.
Some cooling systems simply are very efficient.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your wife!
Stop down sometime!!!

Thanks for the reply Marty......is seems like everyone is in agreement that there is nothing wrong with my cooling system.....which is a good thing.....lol
And the fact that your runs similar to mine as you described and without a drilled thermostat......
And yes quite cold in our area and for most of this week.....
Interesting about the LT-1......I guess we can come to the conclusion that extreme cold temps plays havoc on the cooling temps....
And thanks.....Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and your family also......
I will stop down soon.....will give you a call and we'll set up a time....
