Go with the lower temperature type it just opens earlier, or strip your one out and read it off yours, there normally stamped

Thanks for the reply....When i got the van the heater never got hot also the top hose stayed cold ? The old thermostat has no markings on. Its a tricky one i may go to FOrd for this.
