Winter here, need thermostat

[BC_MMC]

I've read this thread:

mentioning the NAPA 33249... a part not available to our local store. There seems to be a difference in NAPAs Cdn and US part numbers as well.

GATES Part # 33249 {Regular Thermostat; 195º Bottom By-Pass (1 13/16" x 11/16" x 27/32" x 1 3/32")}
Category: Thermostat

Now has anyone used this part and can confirm it's also listed for a Mazda 323 as well? If so, I might get this one:

1986-1993 Mazda 323 - Stant Thermostat
Part number: ST45869Manufacturer number: 45869

We all need to do a little more cross finding parts that fit and posting them in the reference thread, I hit my local (40 miles away) NAPA with great expectations and found ONE of the SEVEN things I was hunting for.
But I did finally get my hands on real Seafoam and it works. The Cdn Tire alternative was useless crap.

Finding "Seafoam" ... having lousy luck here in Nova Scotia

Agreed, the crap tire stuff is just that... CRAP!

The Gates number for the 180deg thermostat is #33428. Yes it fits the Mitz.

That part # cross-refs to a Dodge Omni here. They made do by grinding one similar down to 42mm. The Stant that refers to Mazda 323 wasn't even close.
