Should be an easy ? to answer this time. I have a 1977 Ski Tique with the Ford 302 in it. My ? is can I put a regular automotive 160 degree thermostat in it, or do I have to buy some type of marine thermostat?

Get a marine. You'll have less temp fluctuation with one on the right below. I would use a 142 degree.

the other issue is on a marine t-stat if it goes bad it stays open, where as on an automotive it can stay closed and over heat the motor.
