For a SBC, I don't know if I'd go 20 degrees hotter than stock on a 1972. Should be a 180. But I've seen cats use a 185 and a 190 and not have problems. Being that you live in TX, you might wanna stick with a 180 in that application. There are lots of variables depending on your engine configuration. My comment was more geared towards the 180 to 185 T-stats. Because a lot of cats will toss in a 160 and then wonder why their engines are full of sludge and white goop.
