Chris H · 04-13-2009

My 1991 ZR1 has 75000 miles on it. It gets very hot in traffic (around 200) I know the original thermostat is 180. Im thinking I may need to change it. Has anyone else had this problem and have and suggestions on what type of thermo i should get. Also if i do need to change the thermostat can someone please give me detailed instructions on how to do so. (i hate to admit it but im an amateur mechanic and i dont want to screw anything up) Im about to take the car to floida and DO NOT want to ruin it in that heat
