You are correct KPM, I did make a mistake on the price for the new water pump from Napa. Their web site says it is $154. I think my local store quoted me the $158.

So the question is still unanswered. Has anybody tried one of these from Napa ?

Will I be the first to do so ?

Also, Please help me understand the reason the 160 degrees thermostat is better than the 190. It is my understanding that an engine not up to at least 180 degrees does not opperate at peak efficiency. Give me a little more detailed information so I can give my car the best treatment too.
