MotoRad 300-180 is a standard engine-coolant thermostat beginning to open at 180°F / 82.2°C. It uses a steel/copper construction and a wax motor reacting to coolant temperature.
Application / fitment
The thermostat is catalogued for a broad range of older American vehicles. Confirm fitment by flange diameter, opening temperature, thermostat housing and OE reference.
- selected AMC, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac
- selected Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth
- selected Ford, Lincoln and Mercury, including certain Mustang, F-Series and Econoline applications
- selected Jeep, including older CJ and Wrangler applications
