If it's stock, it's 192* They do sell an number of variations between 192 and 160, but the only way I know to tell is take it out and put it in hot water with a thermometer. I would not worry about when it opens. These cars are designed to run in the low 200s. Even racers argue over the value of earlier opening thermostats.
