model or partnumber of 180* Thermostat

Hello!

I`m far from you and always use E-Bay for buying, but I can`t find 180* T-stat there (
Searching for "180 Buick Riviera Thermostat" have no results
Please tell me some references for proper thermostats or its partnumbers.

Would be appreciate!

Welcome George,
What year is your car.? Is it supercharged, etc.
Not that it matters, the thermostats are the same P/N for all 3800 engines, I believe.
Where are you from.? What country do you need to buy a thermostat in.
We have multiple places to buy from here in the US, but I would think that shipping to another country would be too expensive for a thermastat that you might be able to buy in your country.
As i said any GM 3800 engine will fit.
You can look at some of the companies here:

Hello, George. One thing you could do is send an email to INTENSE Racing at: Sales@INTENSE-Racing.com

Tell them where you are located, and explain you need a 180º t-stat for Series I 3800 V6 (I think it's the same for all 3800s). They are $9.99, plus an international shipping charge for outside the U.S.

Otherwise, you can try searching for these parts, which will fit the '95-99 Riviera:

• STANT Part # 45848 More Info {Premium Thermostat - 180 Degree Superstat (1 23/32" x 29/32" x 29/32") #65848}

• GATES Part # 33428S More Info {Premium Thermostat; 180º Superstat (1 23/32" x 29/32" x 29/32")}

• STANT Part # 13848 More Info {Regular Thermostat - 180 Degree Reverse Poppet (1 23/32" x 13/16" x 25/32") #35848}

• GATES Part # 33428 {Regular Thermostat; 180º Reverse Poppet (1 23/32" x 13/16" x 25/32")}

Thanks!
I`m from Moscow, Russia. 95 SC Riviera
Never ordered from www.rockauto.com `cause they offer minimum 100$ shipping costs for the smallest item. May be it`s very fast...
At first I`ll try to find it in our stores by partnumbers.

If you go with the Stant brand name, make sure you opt for the 45 # premium series thermostat over the normal 13 # series. We sell stant here and alot of shops refuse to use the normal stant thermostats because they are hit and miss on longevity.

George, there is another member here, Alexey (SilveR) who owns a black '97 Riv in Moscow. He used to frequent often, but not so much anymore. I still have his email address if you want me to introduce you and try making contact. Let me know if you're interested.

Yes, I meet Alexey SilveR sometimes! He drive Riviera and Tahoe by turns now.
I`ll post pictures of my Riv soon
