Stant Thermostat

Hi-

I'm ordering a Stant Thermostat from rockauto.com (any good?). I see
that have two part numbers (same price) for my engine. One of them
says

STANT Part #13649 {Regular Thermostat}

and the other one says

STANT Part #35649 {Regular Thermostat(Card Pkg)}

I'm guessing these are the same thermostats in different packages.
Furthermore, I can't find any specs on the 12649 or 35649 to make sure
it's the 195 degree part I need. Can anyone verify this for me?

Thanks a lot!

Same thermo. Different packaging. Can't verify the temp. but "regular"
(stock) would be 195.

Don't know which vehicle you're putting it into, but when I replaced the
thermostat in my '96 4.0L I used a Stant "Superstat" (#45369). It's been in
3 years now and still works better than the OEMs did when new (and the OEMs
only seemed to last a couple years). According to Stant, "...SuperStats are
manufactured with a patented v-notch, non-linear valve design which reduces
cycling, brings your car to the proper operating temperature more quickly,
improves engine efficiency and fuel economy and prolongs engine life." I
can attest that it does keep a more even temperature that the OEMs did,
don't know if it warms up any faster or not. My mpg always drops as soon as
the weather gets cold, regardless of how well the stat is working.
