Radiator Fan

That's what I was saying, it'll be fine and run cooler like 195.. but get the fan turn-on temp tuned, and you'll be sitting just above 160 all the time like I am (BTW, you probably have a 160, i have never heard of a 170 for our cars at least) and also not need to wire in a fan switch

Thanks for the info. I went ot Autozone and I ordered the 160 degree thermostat and I'm going to install it Friday. With the thermostat opening at 160 instead of 195 and with my fans coming on earlier with my modification of coolant resistor circuit, my car would be running a lot cooler here in FL.

I found in JCWhitney, they have these temp control switches for cooling fan. Two type, one fix setting and the other adjustable. Below is the link.

I got the 160 deg F thermostat and installed it and also with the 1 Kohm across the coolant sensor circuit that I connected. my camaro did not smell hot anymore like it used to when I parked. Today it was very hot in FL but my car ran a lot cooler with these two modications. thanks to everyone with info. Maybe I don't need the fan control switch I mentioned above.
