I believe the two wire version is for non AC cars. The MANUAL shows a three
wire on mine (87tq) - Checking the 86 5KS section (page 97.241) shows me a 3
wire for yours. As far as the temp goes, that could be a matter of
preference. If you could, please get me the PN for the 92/85 - being in
Orlando, I would prefer to run cooler.

As far as I'm concerned the Bentley manual is invaluable - "BUT" there are
also times it will baffle you with its lack of information on routine info.
If you've done all that so far w/o one, I'm impressed!  Check used
bookstores - sometimes you can get lucky - that's how I got one for my long
gone, beloved 79 5KS.
