I've seem alot of Autozone thermostats fail, that's if the idoits there can figure out what a thermostat is. I'd at least check NAPA to see if they sold them, otherwise buy one people have used before, I think mine is Hypertech.

it seems most thermostats from auto parts stores aren't the greatest.

in my opinion just pay the few extra bucks to get the hypertec.

but yes O'Reilly's does sell a 160, 180, and 195 for the LT1, So i'd assume autozone does too.

I didn't know Duralast offered an LT1 specific thermostat at that temperature rating. If you are going to buy it, I would make sure it will work first.

Get a Hypertech or Stant premium thermostat.

Same here. Well worth the $20 bucks. Autozone should be able to order it for you.
