Any one know who makes a lower temp thermostat for an 89 240? Also do you know what the lowest temp is for those, i think my stock one is 190F, and is this something that i can buy at o'Reilly or AutoZone?

Wow, you're full of bad info.

OE is 170, Nismo makes a 144, and you should only use an OE thermostat, aftermarket types have different bleed valves or improper sized openings.
