Chuck,
On the '84-85 4KSQ, the fan switch is rated "on at 92, off at 87".
The stock thermostat is a 87C unit.

No, I am going w/ a "on at 82, off at 77" switch and a 80C t-stat.  This is 
in light of a pending turbo install onto the JT engine.  If the fan runs too 
much, a different switch or t-stat can be easily installed at a later date.

Sounds like a good plan to me.
